This exceptional late Edwardian-era converted church, ideally located in the popular coastal area of Roker, Sunderland. Constructed in 1909, this historic church was one of four places of worship in the Parish of Monkwearmouth, the building was sympathetically converted into a spacious family home, maintaining its character while incorporating modern comforts.
Situated within walking distance of the Blue Flag-award winning Seaburn Beach, homeowners can enjoy easy access to the stunning Northeast coastline, perfect for leisurely walks, beach activities, and enjoying the fresh sea air. For those who need access to local amenities, the property is ideally positioned near the bustling Sunderland city centre, which is easily accessible via excellent transport links provided by the nearby A183 and A1018 roads.
Upon entering the property, you are welcomed by a grand hallway that sets the tone for the unique and character-filled home that lies ahead. The hallway provides access to the spacious living room, a truly striking space that beautifully showcases the building’s ecclesiastical features, including stained-glass windows and soaring high ceilings adorned with original beams. A feature staircase leads you to a mezzanine level, offering a glimpse into the airy, open design of the property. From the living room, you'll find a cosy informal lounge, a perfect retreat for relaxing or entertaining. Additionally, there is a downstairs bedroom, which benefits from easy access to a well-appointed bathroom, making it ideal for guests or as a versatile space.
The kitchen, which was once the chancel of the church, has been thoughtfully transformed into an expansive kitchen/dining area. This impressive space offers ample counter space for culinary enthusiasts and features a stunning inglenook fireplace that is home to a classic Aga range cooker, perfect for creating a warm, inviting atmosphere. Beyond the kitchen, there is access to the bell tower, which once housed the church’s bells. Climbing the spiral staircase takes you to the top of the tower, where you are rewarded with breathtaking views of the surrounding coastline, providing a serene and inspiring outlook.
Ascending to the first floor, you will find four bedrooms, each benefiting from good natural light. A small modern bathroom completes the upper level.
