Summary - 80 SPRINGWELL ROAD SUNDERLAND SR3 4EA
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact, affordable home with garden and scope to personalise.
Ground-floor one-bedroom flat with conservatory and gardens front and rear
This ground-floor one-bedroom flat offers single-level living close to Barnes Park, local schools and bus routes — convenient for downsizers seeking a manageable home. The layout includes an entrance hallway, lounge, kitchen, shower room, bedroom and a conservatory that opens onto the rear garden, giving useful extra space and natural light.
The property requires full modernisation, so it will suit a buyer willing to refurbish and personalise. Notable positives include double glazing, mains gas boiler with radiators, lawned gardens to front and rear, and a 125-year lease from 1997 with a low annual ground rent of £10. The compact footprint (approx. 377 sq ft) keeps running costs low; council tax band A and modest service/ground rent commitments support affordability.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the flat needs updating throughout, the local area records above-average crime levels, and the wider neighbourhood is relatively deprived. The EPC is D and the building dates from the 1950s–1960s, so prospective purchasers should budget for modernisation and verify the lease and any maintenance liabilities during conveyancing.
For a downsizer who wants an affordable, single-level home with garden space, or an investor prepared to refurbish for rental, this property presents clear potential once updated. Viewing is recommended to assess room sizes and renovation scope in person.
