Summary - THORNHILL SCHOOL HOUSE, THORNHILL GARDENS, SUNDERLAND SR2 7LE
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Period character and modern kitchen with gated parking in central Ashbrooke.
Two double bedrooms in a duplex conversion with distinctive spiral staircase
Set within a converted detached period house on tree-lined Thornhill Gardens, this two-bedroom duplex combines original Victorian character with a modern, open-plan layout. High ceilings, a large bay-windowed lounge and decorative coving retain period charm while a contemporary kitchen with island and fully integrated appliances provides a stylish everyday hub. A striking spiral staircase links the floors and a dedicated cellar offers extra storage.
Practical features include electric security gates and ample off-street parking in the former grounds, mains gas heating with a Worcester Bosch combi boiler, double glazing and an unusually long residential lease. The apartment sits in a sought-after Ashbrooke location close to good schools, green space and fast broadband — appealing to families and professionals who value space, light and convenience.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold flat with a service charge (approx. £1,740) and a nominal ground rent (£5). The EPC rating is D and the building’s solid brick walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation, which could mean higher heating costs or future retrofit work if thermal upgrades are desired. The local crime rate is reported as above average; viewings will help assess how this affects the street feel.
Overall, the apartment offers a rare combination of period features and contemporary fittings in central Ashbrooke. It will suit someone looking for a distinctive, move-in-ready home with scope to personalise and improve energy performance over time.
