Set on a quiet pedestrianised street in Silksworth, this three-bedroom mid-terraced cottage offers immediate scope for improvement and reliable rental or owner-occupier returns. The property has two reception rooms, a practical kitchen, a bathroom and small front town garden with an enclosed rear courtyard — compact, functional living across approximately 781 sq ft.
Sold via Modern Method of Auction with a £50,000 starting bid plus reservation fee, the house is freehold and chain-free, making it straightforward to secure quickly. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators; windows are double glazed though install dates are unknown. Council Tax Band A keeps running costs low.
The house will suit buyers comfortable with a renovation project: internal photos and descriptions note dated finishes, some mould and general wear. The layout and period features (fireplace, mid-20th century brick façade) provide solid renovation potential for an affordable family home or a buy-to-let once upgraded.
Location is practical — walking distance to schools, shops, Silksworth leisure facilities and good road links to Sunderland city centre and the A19/A1. The area is classified as deprived with average crime levels; buyers should weigh community challenges alongside the low purchase price and rental demand in major conurbations.
