Flats from Sunderland Church High School.

This is a flat for sale for 155 thousand pounds for a 2 bedroom. It is in an old converted school. The school was built in the late 18 hundreds as a bespoke building.
The other extra is the view from the upper - penthouse-flat; cost 169,950. It has great views to the sea.

Incidentally the broadcaster Kate Adie went to school here.

Upside- modern flat near to town centre
Parking spaces, shared gardens.
Downside- Management fees. Proximity to potentially noisy neighbours.

In the foreground of one of the extras is a development that is going to be a retirement community with many of the features of this place. This development is on the old school tennis courts and outhouses. Flats in this development start at about 120 thousand I think and will be brand new rather than a converted old building.

Also on the site is Langham Towers a grade 1 listed building that is fabulous inside and out with stained glass windows, amazing plaster work ceilings and beautiful fireplaces. It has been part of Sunderland University- in fact I was taught in there- and then was sold to the school. I dont know if a buyer has been found for it.

I uploaded yesterdays picture after 12 last night so this is the 17th and Ayton Banks is the 16th.
