This two-bedroom semi-detached house on Gordon Road offers an affordable, chain-free entry to homeownership in Sunderland. Set on a small but usable plot, the property includes front and rear gardens and benefits from double glazing, mains gas heating and an EPC rating of C. Good local amenities, schools and direct road and bus links make it practical for commuters and families.
The layout is straightforward: porch, hallway, open-plan lounge and dining area, fitted kitchen and a first-floor shower room with two well-proportioned bedrooms. The house sits on a mid-20th-century brick build with filled cavity walls and standard ceiling heights, offering clear scope to reconfigure and modernise to personal taste.
Important negatives are clear: the property is described as needing renovation and will suit buyers prepared to invest time and money. The surrounding area scores high for deprivation and crime; buyers should consider local conditions and factor potential insurance or security costs. The plot is relatively small and internal space is average at about 658 sq ft, so expansion options are limited.
Overall this home is a pragmatic purchase for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a renovator in a well-connected part of SR4. Its low council tax band and freehold tenure add practical value, but budget realistically for modernisation and consider local area factors before bidding.
