6 Bedroom Country House in 3.5 Acres, 3 miles from Durham City

Flass Hall is a substantial Grade II listed stone built period residence of immense charm and character. It has been sympathetically restored and modernised to provide 6 en-suite bedrooms, 4 reception/dining rooms, and an impressive garden room.

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, with fishing rights. 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.

The ground floor provides over 200 m2 of space, with similarly proportioned 2nd and 3rd floors. Externally there is a detached triple garage which was designed to blend in architecturally and offer a vast capacity including  a further level of secure storage rooms above. This could easily be converted to provide further self-contained accommodation with up to 6 more bedrooms.

Externally, a long sweeping tree-lined drive leads to the impressive stone façade; internally, the original oak beams and fireplaces preserve the original atmosphere of the location. The ample drawing room accommodates a baby grand piano, and the dining room has an authentic table to seat 10 in comfort. Upstairs, the master bedroom includes a massive four-poster bed.

There is ample parking space, heating from a mains gas supply, decent broadband, and up-to-date plumbing and electrical installations. The decorative standard and level of maintenance make Flass Hall ideal for an immediately profitable accommodation business within a few miles of Durham City.
