Freehold 3-bed with garage and large side garden — ideal to renovate and personalise.
Three-bedroom semi-detached on corner plot with front, side and rear gardens
This three-bedroom semi-detached home in Pennywell offers practical family living on a corner plot with gardens to the front, side and rear. Built in the post‑war period and occupying about 1,147 sq ft, the layout is traditional with separate living and dining rooms, a functional kitchen and an attached single garage. The property is freehold and sits in Council Tax Band A, keeping running costs low.
The house is best suited to a buyer looking to personalise and improve rather than move straight in. Interior fittings and décor are dated (1960s–1980s style), including older carpeting and original double glazing installed before 2002, so there is clear scope to modernise and add value. The generous side garden and overall plot provide good potential for extension or landscaping subject to planning.
Location is practical for commuters and families: local schools rated Good are nearby, plus convenient access to the A19 and local employers. Public transport, playgrounds and leisure facilities are within easy reach. That said, the immediate area faces high crime rates and significant deprivation, which will be an important consideration for many buyers and could affect resale prospects.
For buyers seeking a budget entry into Sunderland with long-term upside, this house offers space, a garage and sizeable outdoor areas to renovate. For those after turnkey comfort or a low‑risk investment in a low‑crime neighbourhood, this property will require careful consideration.
