This recently refurbished one-bedroom cottage offers an affordable, ready-to-move-in home in a convenient Sunderland location. The interior has been refreshed throughout and benefits from a new kitchen, modern bathroom, and gas central heating, so day-to-day living is straightforward from day one.
Upstairs provides two useful loft rooms with Velux windows that work well as storage, a home office, or occasional guest space — adding flexibility to the compact floorplan. The rear yard is wall-enclosed and fitted with a new electric shutter for added security and privacy; a small front outdoor area is also enclosed.
Buyers should be aware of local context: the property sits in a very deprived area with high crime rates and a dense urban mix. The plot is small and the house is a mid-terrace, so outdoor space and privacy are limited. Council tax band is not provided.
Overall, this freehold cottage is attractive for first-time buyers seeking a low-maintenance starter home or investors wanting a city-let with updated fixtures. It offers good transport links and local amenities but comes with trade-offs typical of central, hard-pressed neighbourhoods.
