This well-presented two double-bedroom mid-terrace cottage on Hylton Street offers ready-to-move-in accommodation and no onward chain. The house has been newly renovated with a contemporary kitchen, modern bathroom and retained Victorian features such as high ceilings, bay window and fireplaces that give character and plenty of natural light.
Upstairs provides two genuine double bedrooms and a large landing that could serve as a home office. At the rear is a small enclosed courtyard with secure roller-shutter access — practical for cycles or bins and low-maintenance outdoor space rather than a garden for recreation.
Practical strengths include mains gas central heating, double glazing and a freehold tenure. The location is strong for local amenities, public transport, Sunderland University and the hospital, making it suitable for first-time buyers, university staff or property investors seeking straightforward rental potential.
Notable considerations: the Energy Performance Certificate is band E, brick walls are traditional solid construction (likely without cavity insulation), council tax is above average and the surrounding area ranks as deprived with average crime levels. The plot is small and there is limited external amenity space; any further energy or insulation improvements may be needed to reduce running costs.
