Set within a converted period house on tree-lined Thornhill Gardens, this two-bedroom duplex blends Victorian character with contemporary fittings. The large lounge with impressive bay window and high ceilings gives a feeling of space, while the open-plan dining kitchen with island and integrated appliances is ideal for family meals and entertaining. A striking spiral staircase connects the floors and leads to two double bedrooms and a stylish bathroom with a freestanding period-style bath.
Practical benefits include private side access, electric security gates and ample off-street parking within the gated grounds. Recent double glazing and a Worcester Bosch combi boiler provide modern comfort, and a dedicated cellar room offers useful storage. The property sits in a sought-after Ashbrooke location close to good primary and secondary schools and local amenities.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold home (long lease remaining) with an average service charge of £1,740 and a nominal ground rent of £5. The EPC rating is D and the building’s original solid brick walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation, which may affect heating costs compared with modern builds. Crime levels in the area are reported as above average, though gated parking offers added security.
This conversion will suit someone seeking a stylish, characterful home with modern conveniences rather than a turnkey new-build. It offers scope for personal finishing touches and represents a rare opportunity to own a period duplex in central Ashbrooke with private parking and standout internal features.
