A 'majestic' Grade II listed Georgian country house in County Durham has hit the market for £1.2m.
Comprising of two properties, Prospect House is located at the junction of Cadger Bank and Ford Road in Lanchester.
The seven-bedroom detached house has been described as a "superb family home" by estate agents Nested.
The property is accessed through a private gated driveway and is surrounded by mature gardens and developed woodlands.
The main house, a Georgian country estate, is noted for its charm and character.
The estate agents said: "Packed with character and features, this stunning property could have housed William Morris himself with high ceilings, picture rails and an abundance of legacy pieces of furniture."
The main house features an inviting entrance hall, an open-plan lounge/sitting room, a bright orangery, a formal dining room, and a kitchen breakfast room on the ground floor.

It also includes a rear lobby, boot room/WC, and cloakroom.
The first floor is home to four double bedrooms, including a master bedroom with a walk-in dressing room and en-suite, and a separate family bath/shower room.
The property underwent a complete refurbishment in 2010, and updates to the roof, electrics and plumbing were carried out.
The house retains original period details, such as high ceilings, sash windows with classic shutters, and elegant panelled doors.
Across from the main house is Prospect Cottage, which could be used as an Airbnb business, with estimated earnings of around £50,000 per annum.
Alternatively, it could be used as additional living space for multigenerational living.
The cottage includes a cosy kitchen dining area, a lounge with a striking fireplace, a dining room, a sitting room, and a shower room on the ground floor.
The first floor houses three double bedrooms and a tiled family bathroom.
The estate also includes a large detached garage with a first-floor loft area, which could be used as a home office, playroom, gym, or music studio.
