This recently refurbished one-bedroom cottage on John Candlish Road offers a compact, move-in ready home in Millfield. The property has been modernised throughout, including a new roof, contemporary kitchen and bathroom, and a useful loft room accessed by a spiral staircase — making efficient use of its 716 sq ft. Vacant possession and freehold tenure mean immediate ownership with low running council tax (Band A).
Practical benefits include mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for homeworking or streaming. Externally there’s a small rear yard with custom-built storage and decking for limited outdoor use. The location provides easy access to Sunderland city centre, local shops, public transport and several well-rated schools nearby.
Be frank about the area: Millfield is classified as deprived with a high local crime rate, and the wider streets are blue-collar terraces. The mid-terrace cottage was constructed c.1900–1929 and cavity walls are recorded with no known added insulation (assumed) — further insulation works could improve comfort and efficiency. The plot is small and garden space is limited.
This home suits a first-time buyer seeking an affordable, contemporary city cottage or an investor looking for a let-ready unit in an area with strong rental demand. Viewing is recommended to assess the neighbourhood and layout personally, particularly if you are sensitive to local crime levels or seek larger outdoor space.
