Its ground floor houses a grand reception hall, three drawing rooms, an office, and a well-appointed kitchen complete with an Aga.
The first floor has five double bedrooms and two luxury bathrooms.
One of the bedrooms is currently used as a games room, boasting a full-sized snooker table and panoramic views.
Estate agents Northwood also highlight the property's "Exquisite interior design throughout".
The exterior landscaped grounds provide discreet enjoyment.
The main house is accessed by a private gated drive, and is 'discreetly enclosed' by a thick belt of mature trees and shrubs.
Estate agents describe the property as offering "the most luxurious accommodation within a very private setting rarely found in the historic City of Durham".
