“The funding allowed us to complete the sympathetic restoration of a beautiful Victorian school house to create two new five-bedroom luxury homes.”

Andrew Burnett, Director, Camfero Homes

Camfero Homes Ltd secured the loan for the redevelopment of a derelict Victorian school into luxury homes thanks to a £525,000 investment by FW Capital, which manages the North East Property Fund.

The 8,000 sq. ft Marley Hill Primary School house on the A692 outside Sunniside was originally built for the children of local colliery workers in 1895, had been vacant for almost a decade.

With thanks to the FW Capital investment, two new homes have been created, with many of the building’s original features preserved.
