Summary - 25 LIME STREET SUNDERLAND SR4 6BQ
3 bed 1 bath Cottage
Compact central home near transport, schools and hospital ideal for first-time buyers.
No upper chain — available for a quick purchase
This compact mid-terrace cottage offers practical, move-in-ready accommodation in a central Millfield location. The ground floor has a generous lounge/diner, fitted kitchen and modern bathroom, while a well-proportioned third bedroom occupies the first-floor dormer — useful as a main bedroom or home office. Double glazing and reportedly gas central heating are in place, and the low-maintenance rear courtyard keeps upkeep to a minimum. With no upper chain, the property suits someone wanting a quick, straightforward purchase close to Sunderland city amenities.
The house is best suited to first-time buyers or buyers seeking a buy-to-let in a well-connected urban spot. Millfield Metro, local shops, schools and Sunderland Royal Hospital are within easy reach, and fast broadband plus excellent mobile signal support home working or letting. Internally the presentation is tidy and some recent redecoration has reduced immediate refurbishment costs.
There are important practical downsides to note. The neighbourhood has high crime levels and a very deprived local area classification, which will affect long-term desirability and rental yields. The plot is small, rooms and ceilings are generally low, and there is no off-street parking. Construction appears to be solid brick with no installed wall insulation (assumed), so buyers should allow a budget for energy-efficiency improvements. Finally, heating details are inconsistent in the paperwork — confirm whether heating is gas central or electric storage before exchange.
Overall this is a compact, affordably priced central property with clear potential for someone prepared to accept urban constraints. It represents an accessible entry into the Sunderland market, but buyers should factor in the location issues, possible retrofit costs and verify heating and structural details during survey and legal checks.
