This chain‑free, three-bedroom mid-terraced dormer cottage sits on a highly desirable Fulwell street within easy walking distance of metro links, parks, shopping and the seafront. The layout includes a ground-floor reception, flexible lounge/bedroom, kitchen, conservatory/sun room and a first-floor landing serving two further bedrooms. A south-facing rear courtyard with outhouse and vehicle access (up-and-over door) complements the home.
The property benefits from mains gas central heating, modern UPVC double glazing and surprisingly generous room sizes for this build era. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and local schools and amenities are nearby, making the house suitable for first-time buyers or young families seeking an affordable entry into the area.
The cottage requires updating throughout and is offered as a renovation project: the décor and some fittings are dated, and the property will repay investment to modernise. There is a single wet room rather than a full bathroom, and the rear garden/parking area is small. Buyers should note the wider area is classified as deprived blue-collar terraces; the immediate street is popular but buyers may want to check local services and suitability.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, low council tax (Band A), low local crime and convenient transport links. For anyone looking to add value through refurbishment, this property presents clear potential and a sensible price point for the SR6 market.
