Show Home Opens to house hunters in Sunderland
20 November 2025
Homebuyers are being invited to see what homes will look like on a new development in Ryhope, near Sunderland.
Housebuilder Persimmon has opened the doors to the show home at their Charles Church development, St Michael’s Way.
Sunderland Council Cabinet Member Lindsey Leonard was recently on-hand to formally open the new show home, complete with ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The site offers both 2, 3 and 4 and 5-bedroom energy efficient homes. The development has been designed with families in mind and is surrounded by green space, with Seaham Hall beach a short walk away.
St Michael’s Way is a five-minute drive away from amenities and south of Sunderland City Centre.
Olly Thompson, Persimmon Durham Land Director, said: “We are delighted to launch this new show home at St Michael’s Way and are excited for customer to see the high quality on offer.
“It was a pleasure to welcome Councillor Leonard to the show home at this important stage of the development. New homes are needed in Sunderland and we are proud to be contributing to the community.”
Councillor Leonard said: “It was lovely to be invited to the show home. I’m pleased that Ryhope is expanding and it is great to see much needed, high-quality new homes being built in the area”.
