See inside the historic Sunderland High School's Langham Tower which could be transformed into a hotel on the market for £999,950

Langham Tower is a large Victorian mansion, located on the corner of Ryhope Road and Mowbray Road in Ashbrooke. Built in 1889 and finished in 1891 by William Milburn, for William Adamson, the son of the shipbuilder W. Adamson. The house was later owned by the Vaux family, then by shipbuilder Robert Thompson, before becoming a teacher training college in 1922. It became part of Sunderland Polytechnic and later the University of Sunderland, in 1975. The University sold Langham Tower in 2004. It became part of Sunderland High School in 2006, but the independent School closed in 2016. Now the former school could be a potential hotel development and benefits from planning permission for a hotel with seven en-suite guest rooms on the first floor with the managers accommodation sited on the second floor, including a restaurant and bar to the ground floor. The property is to be sold by way of freehold title at an asking price of £999,950.
