About this home
Pattinson estate agents are delighted to welcome to the market this four-bedroom mid-terrace property situated in a highly popular and desirable rental location of Millfield, Sunderland.
Offering a surprisingly spacious layout and excellent potential, this property represents an ideal opportunity for growing families, property investors, or buy-to-let landlords looking for a rewarding portfolio addition.
The versatile ground floor layout centres around a spacious living room, providing a comfortable hub for the home. Off the living room, you will find a generous ground-floor master bedroom, offering flexible accommodation that could alternatively serve as a second reception room. The kitchen and family bathroom are also located on the ground floor to the rear of the property. Upstairs, the first floor features a landing connecting three further well-proportioned bedrooms.
The property is in need of cosmetic updating and modernising throughout, though it requires less extensive refurbishment than standard project properties, making it a faster turnaround for an investor.
Situated in a highly sought-after rental pocket of Sunderland, the home is ideally placed to command an excellent yield once updated due to strong local tenant demand.
Situated on Shepherd Street, the property benefits from excellent transport links across Sunderland and the wider Tyne and Wear region, with close proximity to local shops, schools, and amenities.
Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the excellent layout, space, and potential this terrace property has to offer.
