This Edwardian semi delivers generous living space and period detail in a popular Roker location, close to the coastline and local parks. The house offers two reception rooms, a kitchen-diner, three bedrooms and a large family bathroom across well-proportioned floors totalling about 1,344 sq ft — ideal for growing families seeking space and character. A stained-glass landing window and bay windows retain original charm while double glazing and gas central heating provide everyday comfort.
The rear garden has a sunny aspect but is modest in size; the relatively small plot means outdoor maintenance is low but limits extension potential. The property is freehold with no onward chain and sits in Council Tax band C — straightforward ownership for many buyers. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are strong, supporting home working and family connectivity.
Buyers should note the area records higher-than-average crime levels and the local community profile may feel mixed; take local visits at different times to assess suitability. Constructed c.1900–1929, the house shows good bones but will benefit from updating in parts — an opportunity for cosmetic modernisation or more substantial renovation to increase value.
Overall this is a large, characterful family home in a seaside suburb, offering immediate liveability with clear potential to personalise and improve. It will particularly suit buyers wanting space near Roker’s coast and parks who are comfortable investing some work to modernise finishes.
