Summary - 17 RAINTON STREET SUNDERLAND SR4 7DE
3 bed 1 bath Cottage
Characterful city cottage with courtyard, ideal for first-time buyers or investors.
Freehold three-bedroom Victorian cottage, c.915 sq ft
A deceptively spacious three-bedroom, double-fronted Victorian cottage offering practical living across two floors. The ground floor provides two reception rooms, a modern fitted kitchen and a ground-floor shower room, while an extended first-floor bedroom with skylights and eaves storage gives surprisingly generous sleeping space. At c.915 sq ft the layout suits families, first-time buyers or landlords looking for a city-centre rental.
The property has genuine period character — high corniced ceilings and a feature fireplace — combined with contemporary conveniences including integrated kitchen appliances and an electric roller-shutter to the rear courtyard. The courtyard is a private, low-maintenance outdoor space accessed directly from the kitchen.
Notable practical points are clear: the house is freehold with very low council tax (Band A) and excellent digital connectivity. It is well placed for local shops, schools, Sunderland Royal Hospital and Millfield Metro station, making day-to-day life and commuting straightforward.
Be upfront about location and maintenance: the immediate area is a deprived urban neighbourhood with higher crime levels than average, and the property sits directly to the pavement with no off-street parking. Some cosmetic updating or reconfiguration could increase rental yield or resale value, particularly to modernise bathrooms or refresh decoration.
This cottage represents an affordable city-centre home or investment purchase with solid room proportions and easy upkeep. Early inspection will show whether the layout and condition fit your plans — renovation potential is present but not extensive structural work indicated in the details provided.
