This two-bedroom mid-terrace on Romford Street offers an affordable, chain-free entry into Pallion with practical living space and clear scope to add value. The ground floor provides a lounge, dining room, modern kitchen and bathroom; two well-proportioned bedrooms sit upstairs. The property is freehold and available with immediate possession.
The house is compact but well laid out for first-time buyers or buy-to-let purchasers. Modern double glazing, gas central heating and wood-effect flooring are already in place, reducing short-term upgrade costs. A small enclosed rear courtyard provides private outdoor space and low-maintenance external area.
Expect some renovation to reach full potential: the terrace shows signs of general ageing and will benefit from redecoration and targeted updates. The area is classified as very deprived, with average local crime levels and a strong private-rental population, so purchasers should consider long-term rental demand and local market dynamics. Nearby amenities, Pallion Metro station, Sunderland Royal Hospital, city centre access and the A19 make the location convenient for commuters and workers.
This property suits a buyer looking for an affordable starter home or a cost-effective investment requiring modest refurbishment. Early viewing is recommended to assess condition and potential improvements for resale or rental use.
