Features and description

1 Bedroom cottage property
Historically 2 bedroom - easily returned
Desirable location
Vacant possession

Pattinson Estate Agents are delighted to present this unique historic cottage situated in the highly sought-after High Barnes area. Originally a traditional two-bedroom layout, this property has been thoughtfully redesigned to create a one-bedroom residence, boasting an impressively spacious living area that sets it apart from the standard terrace.
A Rare Opportunity with Planning Approved
This home offers a fantastic opportunity for those looking to put their own stamp on a character property. A major highlight for any developer or savvy buyer is that planning permission was granted in April 2025 to erect a rear dormer. This approval provides a clear pathway to significantly increase the living space and add substantial value, making it a dream project for those seeking a bespoke renovation.
Enhanced Living Space
The current standout feature of this home is the expansive lounge, created by opening up the original floor plan. This large, airy reception room provides a versatile space for both relaxing and dining, flooded with natural light. The generous proportions offer a level of comfort and scale rarely found in properties of this type.
Prime Location
Located on the desirable Kitchener Street, you are perfectly placed to enjoy:
Barnes Park: Just a short stroll away for beautiful green spaces.
Local Amenities: Excellent proximity to the Sunderland Royal Hospital, local shops, and highly-regarded schools.
Connectivity: Superb transport links to the A19 and Sunderland City Centre.
Key Highlights:
Historic "Sunderland Cottage" with unique character.
Modified layout featuring a vastly upsized lounge.
Planning Permission Granted (April 2025) for a rear dormer extension.
A true blank canvas in a premier residential location.
Private rear yard and no onward chain.
This property is a must-see for those seeking space, potential, and a confirmed opportunity for expansion. Early viewing is unreservedly recommended

Pattinson Estate Agency is an award-winning family-run business that was Launched in 1977 on Independence Day. This is no coincidence, as independence is central to our company ethos. We are the most recognised estate agency in the North East, and in that time we have grown from 1 office to 28, with 300 members of staff, and we officially sell more properties in the North East, than any other estate agency. However, we don’t just sell houses! Our many property services include sales, lettings (property management), auction, commercial, financial services, conveyance and surveys, and we have it all under one roof! We can be contacted 6 days a week at extended hours, as we have a dedicated Regional Team who take the overspill calls from our 28 branches, so all client relationships are built and maintained. At Pattinsons, we are innovative leaders in the property industry, with pro-active selling, a reliable reputation, and substantial repeat business. Our national secure sale department, ‘Pattinson Auction’, was launched 33 years ago, and is going from strength to strength.
