Characterful first-floor apartment close to university and transport links.
Victorian period building with high ceilings and sash windows
A well-presented first-floor Victorian apartment in Ashbrooke, offered with a long lease and optional tenant in situ. Its two double bedrooms, high ceilings and sash windows give traditional character while the layout suits a buy-to-let or a professional sharer. Current tenant pays £650 pcm, demonstrating immediate rental potential.
Set on a tree-lined private park, the flat has easy access to Sunderland city centre, excellent bus and Metro links, and is close to the University of Sunderland, shops and leisure amenities. Gas central heating, a modern bathroom and a compact fitted kitchen make the property habitable with minimal immediate work required. Secure intercom entry and private off-street parking add practical value.
Be clear about maintenance and location factors: the building is solid-brick Victorian with no assumed wall insulation and may benefit from energy upgrades to improve long-term running costs. The surrounding area has higher crime rates and relative deprivation, which will influence tenant demand and resale values. Council tax is very low and the EPC is a C, reflecting reasonable energy performance.
With a 999-year lease from 2006 (effectively very long leasehold) and communal garden areas, this apartment suits investors seeking steady income or buyers wanting a characterful flat near the university and transport links. Early viewing will show the combination of period charm and practical features on offer.
