Compact coastal home with renovation potential close to seafront and amenities.
Chain-free two-bedroom terraced cottage, one-floor living
A compact two-bedroom terraced cottage in Roker, offered chain-free and ready for a new owner to personalise. The single-storey layout is practical: lounge, kitchen, shower room and two bedrooms arranged over one level, useful for buyers who prefer no stairs. At about 657 sq ft the home is an average-sized property with a small rear yard and a street-facing bay window that adds character.
The location is a major strength — close to Roker seafront, local shops, buses and several well-rated primary and secondary schools, making it suitable for first-time buyers and those downsizing who want convenience and coastal access. The property is freehold with mains gas central heating and double glazing (install date unknown), and council tax is very low, keeping running costs down.
There are a few practical matters to note. The house was built before 1900 with solid brick walls that likely lack cavity insulation, so expect higher heat loss compared with modern builds and possible retrofit costs. Crime in the area is reported above average; consider security measures. The property is habitable but will benefit from updating and cosmetic improvement throughout — a chance to add value for buyers willing to renovate.
Overall this is a straightforward, affordable entry into a popular coastal neighbourhood. It suits buyers seeking a manageable, one-floor home near amenities and the seafront, or investors looking for a renovation project in a well-connected area. The chain-free situation speeds up completion for anyone ready to move or start works.
