Three-bed project with garden and commuter links for buyers ready to improve.
No onward chain; freehold ownership
A three-bedroom semi-detached home on Hylton Road offered with no onward chain and available freehold. The house provides practical family accommodation across two storeys with a lounge featuring a bay/bow window, separate dining room, kitchen, downstairs outhouse with WC and a rear garden with a sunny aspect. Total floor area is about 79 sq m (850 sq ft) with council tax in Band A and an EPC rating of D.
The property is best suited to a first-time buyer or investor prepared to undertake cosmetic updates. Internal rooms are habitable but dated — wallpaper, fixtures and finishes need modernising. There are visible exterior maintenance issues: roof boarding requires repair, external grime and signs of potential damp near windows were noted, and the garden and external areas are overgrown and in need of clearance and upkeep.
Location benefits include quick access to local shops, community facilities and several well-rated schools, plus good transport links into Sunderland and the A19 for wider commuting. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are reported strong. Buyers should consider the wider area context: this neighbourhood is classified as very deprived with higher local crime rates, which may affect resale or rental demand.
This property offers clear refurbishment potential at a low entry price, providing scope to add value through repairs, modernisation and garden improvement. Important practical points: single family bathroom plus separate WC, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing of unknown age, and no flood risk recorded.
