Summary - 10 MAFEKING STREET SUNDERLAND SR4 6NE
1 bed 1 bath Terraced
Affordable, flexible one-bedroom home with parking, close to Sunderland Royal Hospital.
Freehold one-bedroom dormer cottage with two loft rooms
This 1-bedroom dormer cottage on Mafeking Street offers a flexible layout and notable space for its footprint, with two loft rooms that extend usable accommodation. The property is freehold and benefits from an enclosed rear yard with off-street parking accessed by an electric roller shutter — a rare convenience for a terraced house in this area.
The house is offered at an entry-level price point, appealing to first-time buyers or investors seeking a rental or refurbishment project. At about 79 sqm (850 sq ft) the internal area is generous for a one-bedroom; the loft rooms could serve as additional bedrooms, a home office, or storage depending on conversion and consent. Location is practical: close to Sunderland Royal Hospital, Pallion High Street amenities and local transport links including Pallion Metro Station and good road access to the A19 and city centre.
Buyers should note several material issues: the EPC is E, the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, and the property dates from the 1930s–1940s which commonly requires modernisation. The area is in a very deprived ward and local socio-economic indicators are challenged; this can affect long-term capital appreciation and tenancy demand. The plot is small and the yard provides limited outdoor space.
Overall, this cottage suits someone seeking an affordable, versatile property to update and personalise — or an investor comfortable managing refurbishment and letting in a high-demand rental patch near the hospital. Be prepared for energy-efficiency upgrades and routine works associated with older mid-terrace buildings.
