This mid-terrace 3/4-bedroom cottage on Bexley Street is offered with no onward chain and ready for a straightforward purchase. The property provides practical living over two floors with an adaptable ground-floor room that can serve as a bedroom or sitting room, a generous living room, a fitted kitchen and a family bathroom. At about 1,077 sq ft, rooms are modest but functional for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors.
Location is a clear strength: close to Sunderland University, the hospital, local shops, schools and regular public transport links into the city. Council Tax Band A and fast broadband make the house economical to run and well suited to students, young professionals or owners prioritising connectivity and low external maintenance. The rear yard is secure and accessed via an electric roller shutter.
There are a few practical drawbacks to note. The EPC is rated E and the cavity walls are assumed to be without insulation, so energy costs and improvement works are possible future expenses. On-street parking is limited and there is no front garden. The area records higher crime levels, which may influence buyer choice or insurance costs. The property presents a strong refurbishment opportunity to increase comfort and value, subject to inspections and any required consents.
Overall this cottage suits buyers seeking an affordable, centrally located home or rental asset with immediate availability. Viewing is recommended to appreciate room layouts and to plan any energy-efficiency upgrades or cosmetic improvements.
