A unique two bedroom apartment within the historic Maryland building, dating back to 1903. Offering over 1,300 sq.ft of characterful accommodation, countryside views, secure gated grounds and a share of the freehold, in the sought-after village of Woburn.

Why buy this home?

Dating back to 1903, this remarkable apartment occupies part of the prestigious Maryland building, an iconic residence with an extraordinary history. Originally serving as a First World War hospital, the building has been sympathetically converted to create a collection of unique homes that blend period character with modern luxury. Offering over 1,300 sq.ft of beautifully arranged living accommodation and the added benefit of a share of the freehold, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of local history in one of Woburn’s most sought after settings.

It’s immediately clear that Maryland offers a setting unlike any other. Surrounded by beautifully maintained communal gardens and mature trees, there is a real sense of peace and privacy, while Woburn village is just moments away.

Stepping inside, the spacious entrance hall creates a welcoming first impression, with plenty of built-in storage keeping everything neatly tucked away. The kitchen sits at the heart of the home and has been thoughtfully designed with integrated appliances, modern cabinetry and space for a dining table, making it the perfect place to cook, entertain or simply enjoy the views across the surrounding countryside.

The living room is undoubtedly one of the standout features of the apartment. Positioned on its own slightly elevated level, this impressive space showcases the scale and character that makes this home so special. Featuring a stunning vaulted ceiling, skylights and a Juliette balcony, the room is flooded with natural light throughout the day.

The principal bedroom is a fantastic size and enjoys fitted wardrobes alongside far reaching views across the countryside towards Woburn. The modern en-suite has been finished to a high standard, creating a peaceful retreat at the end of the day. Bedroom two is currently used as a charming child’s bedroom but offers excellent flexibility and could easily be transformed into a home office, nursery or guest bedroom to suit your lifestyle. A stylish family bathroom completes the accommodation.
