Detached house for sale in Esh Winning, Durham DH7

We are proud to present this substantial, Grade II listed, stone built period residence of immense charm and character in Durham. Dating from the 16th century, Oliver Cromwell is reputed once to have visited the Hall and taken tea underneath the oak tree outside the house; since then it has been sympathetically restored and extended. Set in a private and secluded site of 3½ acres, it overlooks open countryside and the site extends across lawns and grassland down to the River Deerness. While it’s far enough from the City to remain dark at night, Durham and the A1(M) Motorway can be reached in under 15 minutes. To arrange a visit, call .

This method and the process we follow to ensure compliance for your transaction come with significant time, financial and legal implications hence a portion of this is passed on to our clients. We elected for this verification process due to the speed, certainty, and accuracy it delivers. This helps us to protect all our client's interests by using the most advanced verification process to help prevent the impacts of money laundering alongside our internal manual policies and procedures while staying compliant with hmrc.
