Foyle Street, Sunderland, SR1

Positioned within the heart of Sunderland's sought-after Sunniside Quarter, this impressive four-storey Grade II Listed property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful mixed-residential investment in an area benefiting from significant ongoing regeneration and substantial future investment.
The property comprises a self-contained, income-producing basement apartment currently let to a long-term tenant, together with a spacious and beautifully presented three-bedroom maisonette occupying the upper floors, offering immediate owner/occupier appeal, additional rental potential, or flexibility for multi-generational living.

Location & Growth Potential
Foyle Street lies within Sunderland's historic Sunniside district, an area undergoing extensive transformation through public and private sector investment aimed at creating a vibrant residential, leisure and cultural quarter.
The property is ideally placed for Sunderland Station, the city centre, university campuses, restaurants, bars, theatre and leisure facilities. Ongoing investment and redevelopment nearby continue to strengthen the long-term appeal of the area, making this an increasingly attractive proposition for investors and owner-occupiers seeking future capital growth alongside immediate usability.
Investment Potential
The combination of a tenanted apartment and vacant upper accommodation provides multiple strategies for future owners:
• Continue as a dual-income investment
