Set across the top two floors of an imposing Georgian townhouse, this maisonette combines generous room proportions and retained period detail with contemporary upgrades. High ceilings, decorative cornicing, large sash windows and a feature fireplace give the principal reception rooms strong character and natural light. A modern kitchen and shower room make the property ready to live in while preserving original charm.
The layout offers two double bedrooms (one with a dressing area), two substantial reception rooms and a bright kitchen — all within an unusually large 1,434 sq ft maisonette footprint. Outdoor space includes a shared front garden and a rear communal courtyard with decked area and roller-shutter access for off-street parking, useful in this city-centre location close to shops, schools, transport links and the Metro.
Important practical points: the building is solid-brick and most windows are single-glazed sash, so thermal performance is limited and further insulation or double glazing could improve comfort and running costs. The neighbourhood is classified as cosmopolitan student and wider area deprivation is high; recorded local crime levels are above average. Broadband speeds are average and council tax is Band B (relatively low).
Leasehold terms are long (reported 976 years remaining) with no advertised ground rent or service charge, but purchasers should verify lease and title details with their solicitor. This maisonette will suit buyers seeking spacious period accommodation near Sunderland city centre who are prepared to accept urban area characteristics and consider modest retrofit work to improve insulation and glazing.
