Bradley Hall has launched a truly exceptional five-bedroom residence in Sunderland’s prestigious Ashbrooke area, with offers over £1.5 million.
Ashbrooke Cottage is a one-of-a-kind private residence which combines the character of an 1881 property with striking contemporary architecture. Extending to more than 4,500 sq ft across four floors, the property has been comprehensively upgraded and reimagined to create an extraordinary modern home.
Emma Owens, Branch Manager at Bradley Hall Sunderland, said: “Ashbrooke Cottage is unlike anything else currently on the market in Sunderland. It has an incredible combination of scale, privacy, architectural design and luxury, while still retaining the character of its original 1881 frontage.
“The attention to detail throughout is exceptional, from the bespoke solid oak detailing and handcrafted entrance to the dramatic contemporary pavilion at the rear. The three levels of terraces and balconies, private hot tub and entertaining area make this a particularly impressive home for anyone who enjoys entertaining, while the sheer amount of internal space gives buyers an enormous amount of flexibility.

“Properties of this scale and individuality are incredibly rare in Sunderland, particularly in such a private setting. We expect Ashbrooke Cottage to generate significant interest from buyers looking for something genuinely unique.”
Set behind a substantial privacy wall and automated electric gates, the property benefits from an unusually private setting, with no immediate residential neighbours, while remaining less than half a mile from Argyle House School and within easy reach of Sunderland city centre and Durham.
The original frontage has been beautifully remodelled, featuring an extended roofline, bespoke solid oak detailing, herringbone brickwork and a handcrafted oak entrance.
To the rear, the property opens into a dramatic contemporary pavilion, with extensive floor-to-ceiling glazing, glass, metalwork and chrome detailing creating a striking contrast with the original cottage.

Inside, the extensive accommodation includes five bedrooms, three substantial reception rooms, an executive home office and a designer kitchen, alongside a principal suite with direct access to the terrace.
The property has been designed with entertaining in mind, with three levels of balconies and terraces providing a range of outdoor spaces. The lower-ground terrace creates a private retreat, complete with a luxury hot tub, African thatched-roof gazebo, seating for eight and dedicated barbecue area.
Further features include a three-to-four-vehicle electric garage, reclaimed cobbled driveway, automated electric gates and comprehensive CCTV, while the elevated terraces enjoy open views across the surrounding green space and cricket grounds.
The combination of its substantial accommodation, exceptional privacy and highly individual design makes Ashbrooke Cottage a rare offering within Sunderland’s residential market.

Located within the established Ashbrooke area, the property is well positioned for access to Sunderland city centre, local amenities and highly regarded schools, while also providing convenient connections to Durham and the wider North East.
With its blend of historic character, contemporary architecture and exceptional entertaining space, Ashbrooke Cottage represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of Sunderland’s most distinctive private residences.
The property is available through Bradley Hall Sunderland with offers over £1.5 million.
