This three-bedroom mid-terrace on Thomas Street offers affordable entry into Sunderland’s Ryhope area, priced to reflect its condition and sold with no onward chain. The house retains period character—fireplaces, picture rails and original timber floors—alongside two good-sized reception rooms that create flexible living and easy rental appeal.
The property requires general refurbishment and updating: cosmetic works, potential kitchen improvements and modernisation of fixtures will be needed to bring it to contemporary standards. The EPC sits at D and the building dates from the 1930–1949 era; the structure reads as sound in listing information but the home is offered as needing renovation and is priced accordingly.
Practical points suit first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors: freehold tenure, mains gas boiler and radiators, double glazing and fast broadband/mobile signal. External space is minimal (small rear yard) and parking is on-street. Note there is a public notice indicating an offer of £53,000 has been received; higher written offers must be submitted before exchange.
The location has local schools within reach and standard town-centre amenities, but the neighbourhood scores as very deprived with above-average crime statistics—important for buyers weighing investment yields or family suitability. For those willing to carry out improvements, the house offers scope for value uplift and a competitively low council-tax burden.
