Characterful three-bedroom cottage with loft potential and low running costs.
Three double bedrooms plus loft room with conversion potential
A well-presented three-bedroom mid-terrace cottage on Stansfield Street, offering sensible family accommodation and easy maintenance. The ground-floor layout includes a comfortable reception room with period features, a modern kitchen/dining area with good natural light, and a paved rear yard with decking — low-maintenance outdoor space for children or pets. The property is freehold and benefits from fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, convenient for home working and streaming.
The three double bedrooms provide flexible sleeping and workspace, and a loft room adds useful storage or scope for conversion (subject to planning). Practical running costs are a plus: mains gas central heating, very low council tax (Band A) and an EPC rating of D. Local schools rated Good and frequent public transport links make this suitable for families who need accessibility to amenities across Sunderland.
Be realistic about the limitations: the plot is small with a modest forecourt and rear courtyard, and the property sits in an area with above-average crime levels — buyers should consider security measures. The house dates from the early 20th century (c.1900–1929) and while the kitchen and external landscaping appear recently updated, any buyer should expect typical maintenance associated with older mid-terrace properties and confirm details such as glazing install dates and loft conversion feasibility.
Overall, this cottage will suit families or landlords wanting a manageable freehold home near schools, transport and local amenities. It offers good day-to-day practicality, characterful interior features and clear potential to add value by sensitively upgrading the loft or interiors where desired.
