A Grade II listed manor house that has 12 bedrooms, three separate property ‘wings’ and 7 acres of land has hit the market for an eye-watering figure.
Lartington Hall, in County Durham, is renowned as one of the most beautiful and picturesque wedding venues the region has to offer, but now, it is up for sale for £3.8m.
Following the extensive restoration, modernisation and redecoration programme carried out between 2011 and 2015 to create a beautiful family home, the house, which has only had five owners, since 1635, is now looking for a buyer.

Boasting a ballroom, cinema room, games room, and plenty of outdoor space, the house is perfect for an events venue or a family home, according to Savills, who are marketing the property.
As well as having modern elements, which have been added by the current owners. The south corridor leads to the 17th Century part of the house and chapel with snug and snooker room, plus access to the south door and lawns.
Beyond which is the chapel with stained glass windows, ornate gilded decoration and a part raised gallery area which again has many potential uses.
Here are some of the highlights of the house:

In total there are twelve double bedrooms arranged on three floors, all twelve are en-suite with underfloor heating and two have a bath (or two baths) as well as a shower.
The two large principal bedrooms with bay windows and spectacular views are a particular feature of the house as are the freestanding baths.
A second staircase in the southwestern section of the house also provides access to the three bedrooms which are on the second floor.
The extensive cellars and attics provide further storage if required.
The northwest wing includes further accommodation which could either be incorporated into the main house, used as staff accommodation or let to produce income.
There is potential to create a further unit in the ground floor stores underneath Witham Court.
The additional accommodation currently includes:
- Hansom House - A two-storey property with a kitchen, cloakroom and two ground floor reception rooms. There are two bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor.
- Witham Court - A beautifully presented one-bedroom first-floor apartment with a large sitting room, modern fitted kitchen, double bedroom, and en-suite bathroom.
