A County Durham estate has gone onto the market for the first time in more than 100 years.
The Park House Estate is three miles from Barnard Castle and was once part of the Lartington Estate. It includes a Grade II listed farmhouse which has been fully refurbished.
The house has a three bay water connected garage with power, and planning consent has been approved to convert a former single garage/garden store into a home office.

It also comes with gardens which have been laid out by designer Daphne Scott-Harden and a sweep of parkland. A woodland pathway leads to a pond and a series of weirs and semi-natural woodland.
There are also farmland, amenity and commercial woodland, lakes and two fishing ponds which cover around 146 acres. Shooting, stalking and fishing rights stretch over a further 498 acres, while it has a commercial quarry lease which runs until 2027 with an annual rent of £12,000.
An old disused railway line is included in the sale which gives access to Deepdale Valley, while there is also an old signal box which could offer a scope for creative development subject to planning consent.
John Coleman, head of country house sales at GSC Grays, said: "This really is an exceptional opportunity to purchase a charming sporting estate. Beyond the shooting, stalking and fishing opportunities, Park House also offers an idyllic setting to enjoy the glorious County Durham countryside."
Park House Estate is currently on the market with GSC Grays Barnard Castle Branch with a guide price of offers over £1.8 million.
