Description
The Elephant Tea Rooms is a Grade II listed building situated within the heart of Sunderland city centre.
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 three 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 more in keeping with the character of the building.
The property benefits from a highly decorative façade onto Fawcett Street including a stone and terracotta pinnacle on the south corner of the façade.

major boost to the city’s high street. Nested between this new vibrant quarter and the city’s historic Sunniside district, which itself is set to
