The substantial house sits on the border between two historic counties, Yorkshire and Co Durham, on the south bank of the River Tees.

The flamboyant interiors are the work of Interior Designer Mark Gillette. The main rooms were returned to their original purpose, namely the living room, dining room and library. Each generously sized room offers excellent space for entertaining and family life.
