3 bed character property to buy in SR3

Pattinson estate agents are proud to present to market, this rare heritage gem offering luxurious single-ground floor living in a Grade II listed building in Humbledon, Sunderland.
This is an extraordinary opportunity to inhabit and become a custodian of a significant piece of Sunderland history.
Located in the prestigious Humbledon area of Sunderland. This unique single-floor residence, set within a magnificent Grade II listed building, offers a blend of historical elegance and modern living.
Built in circa 1847 by the renowned civil engineer, Thomas Hawksley, as the boiler house for Sunderland’s first water pumping station. This building was pivotal to the saving of many lives by helping supply fresh water to the city of Sunderland.
The building was fully renovated in the late 1990's and converted into a small number of individual apartments. Initially the ground floor was intended to house 2 x two-bedroom apartments, however the current owners commissioned the full lower floor to be built as a single 3/4 bedroom apartment.
The building is accessed through its own leafy private road, leading to a courtyard area, where you enter the main building via the communal entrance.
The communal entrance hall leads directly to the upper floor staircase and the entrance to the lower flow apartment.
Upon entry to the apartment there is a large central hallway, offering access to all rooms in the property. There is a large living room, with access to to the private garden via a patio door. Off the hallway, there is also access to the kitchen, separate dining room, 3 large bedrooms, with the master also benefitting from a large en-suite and walk in closet. There is also a large family bathroom.
Externally, as well as the private garden, there is also a shared garden to enjoy as well as a detached double garage.
Being a grade II listed building, the renovation had to keep within the history of the building, therefore the windows are all double glazed, but built within period correct metal frames, and the building celebrates its heritage with classic architectural features, complemented by all the comforts of contemporary living.
Situated in Humbledon, known for its serene environment and strong community feel, this home combines tranquillity with the convenience of city living. The area is well-regarded for its quality schools, local amenities, and easy transport links and is a highly sought-after area.
Opportunities to own a home within a Grade II listed building of such distinction are rare, and we would highly recommend a viewing to see the meticulous craftsmanship and timeless elegance in person and experience the unique charm and character of this historic residence.
