The property is a three-bedroom cottage with one bathroom. The images show a recently renovated interior, with a modern kitchen and updated bathroom. The property appears to be in excellent condition. The renovation work is of a high standard, and the property benefits from a modern extension to the rear. The extension includes a conservatory-style sunroom and a modern kitchen. The location in High Barnes, Sunderland, is close to several schools which received a “Good” Ofsted rating, including Barnes Junior School and Barnes Infant Academy. The proximity to these schools makes the property attractive to families. Transportation links to Sunderland and Seaham via Northern Trains are also within reasonable distance. However, more information on the exact location within High Barnes would be beneficial to provide a more precise location score. While the property’s plot size is not specified, the images reveal a small rear yard with a garage and a shed. This suggests limited outdoor space. The list price of £174,950 is significantly lower than the average house price in the area (£930,241). However, the average price per square foot (£729) is not useful in this case, as the square footage of the property is not provided. Considering the property’s renovated condition and location near good schools, the list price may represent good value, although a comparison to similarly sized and renovated properties in the area would be needed to confirm this. The nearby property prices on Dunbar Street range from £85,000 to £136,500, however, the condition of these properties is unknown. Therefore, a direct comparison is not possible.

Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
