Contemporary apartments in the heart of Sunniside

The first new block of apartments to be built in the historic area of Sunniside in Sunderland has been completed, adding to the successful regeneration of the city quarter.

The ndhomes development Biscop House is home to 22 new contemporary apartments and is the latest addition to the renaissance of Sunniside. Regeneration plans commenced in 2003 and with £130m earmarked to be invested into the area, breathing new life into its elegant Victorian and Georgian streets, Sunniside is sure to become one of the hot spots in the North East

Biscop House, together with other new developments such as The Argent Business and Conference Centre and the anticipated arts and business venture thePlace, are proving that the modern can successfully mix with the old as Sunniside rapidly becomes the cultural hub of the city once more.

Interested buyers will be able to view the contemporary new apartments when Biscop House throws open its doors at a special launch on Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th June. Special offers will be available to buyers that reserve an apartment during the launch weekend (conditions apply).

With several large developments of new homes planned for Sunniside, as well as restaurants and commercial space, Biscop House offers a unique opportunity to get onto the property ladder early for both first time buyers and those looking to relocate. Buoyant rental income also provides strong investment opportunity within the development.

A spokesman for ndhomes: “We wanted Biscop House to complement the regeneration that is going on in the area and help Sunniside on its way to becoming a fashionable, thriving quarter once again.

“Our development is priced very competitively to sell to those with an appreciation of quality, contemporary design and value, anyone just needs to compare our specification and prices to see that Biscop House really is a super opportunity.”

Councillor Bob Symonds, leader of Sunderland City Council and chairman of Sunniside Partnership – the organisation spearheading the regeneration - said: “We are delighted to have such high quality, contemporary apartments in a prominent corner of Sunniside, just a short walk away from the stunning new gardens and surrounded by century’s old history and architecture.”

Named after the recently confirmed Patron Saint of Sunderland, St Benedict Biscop, Biscop House’s apartments all offering very spacious accommodation, floor coverings, Italian bathroom suites, contemporary kitchens with all appliances included, are just a taste of what is inside. With generous balconies to some of the penthouse apartments there is something for everyone at Biscop House.
