This two-bedroom terraced cottage on Hampden Road offers a straightforward, affordable entry into Sunderland’s housing market. The property is chain-free and freehold, with practical features such as double glazing (install date unknown), mains gas central heating and off-street parking via a rear carport. At 866 sq ft, the layout includes two reception rooms, a compact kitchen, bathroom and an external utility/outhouse — a workable home for first-time buyers or those seeking a modest renovation project.
The house retains period character: a bay-fronted façade, high ceilings and original mouldings that give scope to create a stylish interior. Running costs are low (Council Tax Band A) and the immediate area benefits from fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, low crime and nearby amenities including shops, leisure facilities and several well-rated primary and secondary schools.
Practical drawbacks are clear and priced accordingly. Outdoor space is limited to a small forecourt and there appears to be little or no rear garden. Interiors show mid-century fittings in places and a compact kitchen and hallway that will likely require updating. The glazing install date is unknown and, while walls are filled cavity, buyers should confirm condition and services during survey. Overall, this is a modest, characterful home offering good value for buyers willing to modernise.
