4 bed detached house for sale

Ashbrooke Road, Sunderland SR2

Nestled on the southern boundary of the local cricket club, Ashbrooke Cottage is one of Sunderland’s most exceptional and visionary homes. Behind its discreet walled boundary, this remarkable property offers a rare blend of international inspiration, architectural brilliance, and luxurious living, yet within walking distance of the city centre, offering the best of city living.

Originally a charming cottage, the home has been masterfully reimagined by its current owners over the past 13 years. The front elevation was remodelled by renowned architect Space id and the owners’ extensive travels have influenced every detail, resulting in a space that seamlessly integrates global design elements with modern sophistication. From the moment you step inside, you are transported—whether to an African savannah, a Thai retreat, or a contemporary urban sanctuary.

To the front, the house presents as a quaint two-storey cottage, with electric gates leading to a large driveaway, and a garage that comfortably fits three vehicles, benefiting from an electric up and over door.

The rear of the property unveils a breathtaking four-storey, tiered pavilion overlooking the surrounding sports grounds. Each room to the rear of the property benefits from bifold doors opening onto the expansive terraces which capture the afternoon and evening sun, creating idyllic spaces for relaxation and entertaining. Thoughtfully positioned trees and greenery provide an intimate, secluded atmosphere, making this a true private oasis.

The home’s design harmonises conservation materials with cutting-edge amenities such as state-of-the-art wiring, plumbing and a kitchen designed and installed by Great Look Design and illustrated in The Luxe Magazine. Each of the four bedrooms and three bathrooms has its own distinctive character, while the reception rooms offer warmth, elegance, and versatility.

The magnificent staircase leads to a lower-level entertaining area, featuring three expansive living spaces, the exceptional kitchen and are all complemented by Villeroy and Boch flooring. The creative design of this floor lends itself to indoor outdoor living at its best. With seamless transition on to the breathtaking terraces, glass balconies enhanced by a Jacuzzi, and cosy open fireplaces, rarely does a home of this calibre emerge in the North East of England. Ashbrooke Cottage is not only an architectural masterpiece but a lifestyle statement.

We are honoured to present this truly exceptional home and look forward to finding the next custodian of this stunning property.
