This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom property located on Sea View Road in Ashbrooke, Sunderland, presents a mixed investment opportunity. The property’s strong point lies in its location. Ashbrooke is known for being a relatively desirable residential area in Sunderland, benefiting from proximity to well-regarded schools, including Southmoor Academy and Hill View Junior Academy (both rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted), making it attractive to families. Additional nearby amenities such as Sunderland train station enhance its convenience. However, the property’s condition requires significant attention. The photographs reveal that the property needs modernisation and refurbishment. While the kitchen shows recent improvements, other areas such as bedrooms, and living areas are showing signs of wear and tear, requiring new carpets, repainting, and possibly other repairs. The limited information provided about the property’s size (both internal and external) and the absence of information regarding the garden prevents a more thorough evaluation. The lack of precise property data makes comparing prices with comparable properties challenging. While the list price of £195,000 positions it within the range of other properties in the area, its condition suggests that potential buyers should factor in considerable refurbishment costs. A comprehensive survey is strongly advised before purchase to obtain a precise assessment of the necessary work and its associated cost. Prospective buyers need to weigh the costs of renovation against the potential benefits of the location and the possibility of adding value after renovation.

Therefore, we give this property 4 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
