Step into a secure, ground-floor apartment on an electric-gated development, ideally positioned within walking distance of Sunderland city centre and transport links. The apartment has been recently updated, with a newly refurbished main bathroom and en suite, offering clean, modern fixtures and a comfortable one-level layout suitable for first-time buyers or professionals.
The large master bedroom with en suite and a bright lounge partly open to the kitchen create practical everyday living across approximately 711 sq ft. The development includes an allocated parking space plus visitor parking — a significant convenience for city-centre homes. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal make this a good option for working from home.
Important practical details: the property is leasehold with about 104 years remaining and an average annual service charge of £2,123. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the main fuel is electricity, which can be more expensive than gas. EPC rating C is reasonable but not top-tier energy efficiency.
Be aware of local context: crime is reported as above average for the area, and communal living means shared maintenance responsibilities. For buyers seeking a low-maintenance, secure apartment close to amenities and transport, this is a well-presented, move-in-ready choice; for those prioritising lower running costs or freehold ownership, consider the electric heating and leasehold/service charge implications.
