Property description
Key Points
Description
Built between 1872 and 1877 by Henry Hopper for a local tea merchant, it provides a blend of the high Victorian Hindu Gothic and Venetian Gothic styles. The building was designed to highlight the exotic origins of the tea sold there.
The building is formed as a combination of historic buildings and provides accommodation across basement, ground, first and second floors beneath
pitched slate roofs. The façade has recently been renovated to provide an attractive frontage in keeping with the character of the building.
The property benefits from a highly decorative façade onto High Street West and Fawcett Street including a stone and terracotta pinnacle on the south corner of the façade.
Location
Sunderland City Council’s Riverside Sunderland Masterplan has delivered seismic change in the centre of the city, with swathes of redevelopment already well advanced.
Riverside Sunderland will bring with it 2,500 new residents and 10,000 new city-centre-based workers, who will provide additional footfall and vibrancy to the city centre. The city’s growing student community is also playing an increasing role in creating a city centre vibe.
Elephant Tea Rooms is located on the corner of High Street West and Fawcett Street in a prime spot opposite Mackie’s Corner, home to an eclectic
mix of creative and retail businesses, providing a major boost to the city’s high street. Nestled between this new vibrant quarter and the city’s
historic Sunniside district, which itself is set to be transformed into unique and joyful place to work and live, the property is in an enviable location.
