A quirky 400-year-old home with a castle-like front has gone on the market in County Durham.

The frontage of the five-bedroom property has striking battlements which means the Grade II listed home resembles a castle.

It is situated in Willington, County Durham and property experts believe it dates back to the 1600s.  

The home, named Willington Hall is grade II listed and comes with about three-quarters of an acre of land with its own gated access, five bedrooms and even two kitchens.

It also has an attached guest cottage to hold family or rent out as a holiday let.

What’s more, it could all be yours for £675,000 meaning it could make the perfect home for a lottery winner.
