Affordable entry investment or renovation project near Sunderland centre.
Chain-free two-bedroom mid-terrace cottage, freehold ownership
This traditional two-bedroom mid-terrace cottage in Hendon offers a straightforward, chain-free purchase at an entry-level price. At 59 sqm (635 sq ft) the layout is compact: entrance hall, living room, galley kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom, with a small enclosed rear yard and on-street parking. The property is sold freehold and has an EPC D.
The house suits investors seeking a low-cost purchase for a rental or refurbishment project, or first-time buyers prepared to update a period property. Key positives include mains gas central heating, double glazing already installed, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Local primary and secondary schools are rated Good, and Sunderland city centre and the A19 are within easy reach for commuters.
Buyers should factor in the local context and maintenance needs. The area is a very deprived, high-crime, blue-collar terrace neighbourhood, which affects long-term capital growth and rental demand profiles. The solid brick walls are presumed uninsulated, glazing predates 2002, and the property will likely benefit from energy-efficiency improvements and cosmetic works to maximise value.
Overall this is a low-price, low-footprint opportunity for someone targeting value-add refurbishment or an affordable entry into the local market. Offers are already in process, so interested buyers or investors should act quickly and view with clear objectives for repair and tenancy potential.
