This mid-terrace three-bedroom cottage on Offerton Street offers a practical, chain-free entry into Sunderland’s property market. The house combines large reception rooms with a compact modern kitchen and bathroom — ready to occupy while offering scope to personalise. The principal bedroom is generous; two smaller first-floor rooms suit children, a home office, or rental occupancy.
Location is a clear strength: Millfield is well served by shops, schools and Millfield Metro Station for easy city-centre access. The property is freehold, on mains gas with a gas boiler and double glazing, and council tax is Band A — all positives for a cost-conscious buyer or investor seeking a straightforward let.
There are some material limitations to consider. The plot is small with a modest paved/decked courtyard only; the building is a traditional solid-brick terrace likely without cavity insulation, so heating costs and thermal performance may be higher than modern builds. Some external and internal areas are dated and would benefit from cosmetic updating; the third bedroom is very small with a Velux rooflight and limited headroom.
Overall this cottage will suit a first-time buyer seeking an affordable, well-located starter home, or an investor after a low-entry buy-to-let near transport and local amenities. It works well as a comfortable move-in property with clear potential to add value through targeted refurbishment and insulation improvements.
