Founded by Frances Ashton in 1728, Ashton Middle School began life as Dunstable Grammar School, serving as a Church of England school. Following changes to the local education system in 1973, it became Ashton Middle School. The school eventually closed in 2016, and the decision was made to transform the historic schoolhouse into luxury apartments while adding new residential buildings within the grounds.

As a result of this unique redevelopment, we are delighted to present this exceptional ground-floor, two-bedroom apartment. The building retains many of its original architectural features and, in recognition of its historical and architectural significance, has been awarded Grade II listed status.

Internally, the apartment offers a spacious open-plan kitchen and living area, enhanced by the 13ft 8" high ceilings and large windows that flood the property with natural light. The contemporary kitchen is fitted with an integrated hob, an extractor fan, integrated fridge, freezer, washing machine and dishwasher, as well as the added luxury of an instant boiling water tap.

The main bathroom has been finished to an impressive standard, featuring a touch-screen control system for the bath and shower, along with a heated mirror that incorporates storage, lighting and anti-fog functions.

The master bedroom further benefits from a stylish en-suite bathroom, finished with the same high-specification fixtures and technology found throughout the property along with a fantastic walk-in wardrobe.

The second bedroom is also a good sized double and includes a fitted cupboard which houses the combi boiler.

Outside, residents enjoy an allocated parking space, additional visitor parking, and beautifully maintained communal gardens.

The current owner has advised that the property benefits from approximately 116 years remaining on the lease.
