The first floor is a two bedroom self contained flat with separate external and internal access.
LocationThe property is located in the Bishopwearmouth area of Sunderland, to the west of the city centre on the A183 Chester Road, which is a busy arterial road that connects directly with the A19 to the west. The property is situated within a popular neighbourhood retail area that serves the local residents and passing customers. The retail unit is prominently located amongst other complementary businesses, including the adjacent Post Office and a Spar convenience store opposite (connected via a pedestrian crossing).
This is a vibrant retail area which is well let. The Sunderland Royal Hospital contributes to steady levels of footfall all year round.
