Everest Park (former John Hunt of Everest School)

In 1953, John Hunt led the British team who became the first to climb Everest.

The popular and successful school, named in his honour, closed in 2007 and moved to a new school at nearby Merton Rise.  The old school premises now offer an exciting opportunity to build a new community of high quality homes.

The development will focus around a central, formal open square, with several other attractive open spaces also built into the design.
