This Victorian three-bedroom terraced house in Roker puts the seafront and Sunderland University within easy walking distance, ideal for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking strong local demand. The home offers two reception rooms, a rear kitchen, one bathroom and a small rear yard — practical spaces for everyday living and rental yields.
The property is freehold with a very low council tax band, and benefits from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. Period red-brick character, standard ceiling heights and wood flooring survive in parts, offering a good base for sympathetic updating rather than a full rebuild.
The house is a genuine fixer-upper: internal decoration requires attention (peeling paint, uneven flooring) and parts of the living room and kitchen will need renovation to reach modern standards. The plot is small and there is only one bathroom, which may matter to growing families.
Note the area records higher-than-average crime rates and the wider neighbourhood is classed as hampered aspiration. For buyers who prioritise coastal location, rental potential, and a modest purchase price, this home represents clear upside after sensible refurbishment.
