Summary - Garden Cottage, Belford Close SR2 7TY
2 bed 2 bath Flat
Low-maintenance two-bed with long lease and garage parking.
Tenanted investment paying £550 per calendar month
This ground-floor, two-bedroom apartment in Ashbrooke is offered as a tenanted investment with established rental income. The tenant pays £550 PCM, providing predictable immediate income for a new owner. The property benefits from a long lease (980 years reported), an EPC rating of C and a private parking space in the communal garage.
The well-planned layout includes a lounge, kitchen, two bedrooms, bathroom and ensuite, all with double glazing. Residents use well-maintained communal gardens and a secure entry system. The building sits in a tucked-away spot close to local amenities and transport links in Sunderland, making it straightforward to let again if the tenancy ends.
Notable points for purchasers: the listing describes electric heating, while other property records indicate a mains gas boiler and radiators — this should be checked and confirmed. The flat is leasehold and buyers must verify tenure details and service/maintenance arrangements with legal advisers. Council Tax Band C and the average-sized footprint (c.721 sq ft) suit investors seeking steady, low‑maintenance holdings in an affluent, communal-retirement area.
Overall, this apartment suits investors looking for an immediately income-producing, low‑upkeep buy with long lease security and parking. Buyers should budget for standard landlord responsibilities and confirm heating, service charges and tenancy details before purchase.
