Comprising:

Entrance Hallway

The front door opens into a welcoming hallway providing access to the kitchen, ground-floor WC and living accommodation. Decorated in light neutral tones, the hallway provides a pleasant introduction to the home, with the staircase rising from the living room to the first floor.

Kitchen – 2.58m x 2.36m

Positioned at the front of the property, the kitchen is fitted with a good selection of white wall and base units complemented by contrasting work surfaces and patterned tiled splashbacks.

There is a built-in oven with gas hob and extractor above, inset sink and drainer positioned beneath the front window, together with space and plumbing for a washing machine. The room is well arranged to make good use of the available space while providing plenty of practical storage and preparation area.

Ground Floor WC – 2.52m x 0.92m

A particularly useful addition to the ground-floor accommodation, comprising WC, wash basin, radiator and window providing natural light.

Living Room – 4.65m x 4.46m

The living room is an excellent size and forms the heart of the home. There is ample space for a substantial suite of furniture, while a feature fireplace provides an attractive focal point.

The neutral décor and generous proportions create a comfortable and versatile reception space, with glazed doors opening directly into the conservatory. The staircase to the first floor is also incorporated neatly into the room.

Conservatory / Sunroom – 2.57m x 3.34m

A lovely extension to the main living accommodation, the conservatory provides an additional reception space which can be enjoyed throughout the year.

With windows overlooking the garden and French doors providing direct outside access, this is an ideal spot for relaxing with a morning coffee, reading or simply enjoying the garden outlook. Its connection to the living room also creates a pleasing flow between the principal living areas and outside space.

First Floor:

Master Bedroom – 3.14m x 3.44m

A generous double bedroom with an attractive shape and plenty of space for a large bed and additional bedroom furniture. A particularly useful feature is the fitted wardrobe storage and additional inbuilt cupboard, helping to keep the main bedroom practical as well as spacious.

Bedroom Two – 3.54m x 2.45m

The second bedroom is another good-sized room and considerably more substantial than the box room often found in two-bedroom properties.

Currently arranged as a bedroom, it would also make an excellent guest room or combination bedroom and home-working space. A roof window provides plenty of natural light.

Bathroom - 1.77m x 1.89m

The first-floor shower room has a bright, contemporary feel and is fitted with a glazed shower enclosure, wash basin incorporated within a useful vanity/storage unit and WC.

Modern wall panelling, contrasting flooring and a roof window complete the room.

Outside

To the front, the property benefits from a paved driveway providing valuable off-road parking, together with established planting which adds colour and character to the approach.

To the rear is a private enclosed garden, designed with relatively straightforward maintenance in mind. The predominantly paved garden provides plenty of space for outdoor seating and pots, with mature shrubs and established planting creating a good degree of greenery and privacy.

French doors from the conservatory make the garden feel like a natural continuation of the internal living space during the warmer months.

Sunderland Marina & Roker.

For many buyers, the location will be every bit as appealing as the house itself.

Barbary Drive sits within the Sunderland Marina and Roker waterfront area, placing the property within easy reach of the marina, coastline and River Wear. Sunderland Marina itself describes the location as approximately one mile from Sunderland city centre, with the seafront and riverside providing an attractive walking route towards Roker and Seaburn.

Roker Beach and its wide sandy shoreline are close by, together with Roker Pier and the promenade. The wider seafront offers cafés, places to eat and leisure opportunities, while Roker Park provides further green space, play areas, tennis and basketball facilities and its popular boating lake. The Marine Activities Centre also provides access to watersports including sailing, kayaking and rowing.

The marina itself adds another dimension to the location, with facilities including Snow Goose coffee shop and Marina Vista restaurant, while further cafés, restaurants and amenities can be found along the Roker and Seaburn seafront. Everyday shopping is also convenient, with local shops close to the marina and larger supermarket facilities within walking distance.

Transport connections are equally useful. Local bus services operate around the marina, while Metro connections are available from the nearby Stadium of Light, St Peter's and Seaburn stations. Sunderland city centre and its main railway station are also readily accessible, while motorists have convenient routes towards the A19 and onward connections across the wider North East.

For buyers who enjoy walking, cycling, the coast or simply being able to step outside and enjoy the waterfront, Barbary Drive offers a lifestyle that is difficult to replicate in many other parts of Sunderland.

Early viewing is highly recommended to appreciate both the accommodation on offer and this superb marina setting.
