This three-bedroom mid-terraced Victorian house offers generous internal space (approx. 125 sqm / 1,345 sq ft) in a central Sunderland location, a short walk from the city centre and transport links. Period features such as a bay window and high ceilings at the front provide character and scope to create a striking living space. The layout includes two reception rooms, a separate kitchen and an enclosed rear yard, useful for secure outdoor storage or a small seating area.
The property is sold freehold and has good rental or resale potential for investors or cash-buying renovators, given its size and proximity to local amenities and stations. The house is fitted with double glazing (installed before 2002) and mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators. Local schools include several rated Good and an independent option nearby, which supports wider tenant or owner-occupier appeal.
Buyers should be aware this is a refurbishment opportunity rather than a move-in-ready home. The kitchen dates from the 1970s and requires modernisation; the property has an EPC rating of E and cavity walls are assumed uninsulated. The surrounding area is described as very deprived with very high crime rates, which will affect resale values, letting demand and insurance costs. A public notice records an existing offer of £80,000 on the property; any higher offers must be submitted in writing before exchange of contracts.
Practical considerations: the plot is small and external maintenance will be required to restore the Victorian façade. The house will suit an experienced investor or buyer prepared to carry out updating works to lift EPC performance and modernise the interior. Viewings are recommended for those seeking a substantial mid-terrace with clear redevelopment potential close to Sunderland city centre.
