Align Chartered Surveyors Appointed by Peterlee Town Council to Market Historic Shotton Hall for Sale
Align Chartered Surveyors are pleased to announce that we have been appointed by Peterlee Town Council to oversee the sale of Shotton Hall, Peterlee, a prestigious mid-18th century country house and former manor, beautifully located on the Green Old Road in East Durham. This sale represents a rare and exceptional opportunity to acquire a Grade II listed property, complete with extensive grounds and significant re-development potential.
Shotton Hall, originally built in 1760, is set within 17.5 acres of landscaped gardens, woodlands, and a scenic lake. With its stunning surroundings and rich historical significance, the property is well-suited for a range of alternative uses, such as a boutique hotel, private residence, apartments, spa, wedding venue, outdoor activity centre, YHA hostel, or other leisure and business ventures.
Centrally positioned in East Durham, with excellent access to major cities including Newcastle and Durham via the A19, Shotton Hall is located 2 miles southwest of Peterlee’s Town Centre. The property is surrounded by beautiful gardens and scenic vistas, providing a serene setting for potential investors.
The Hall stands as one of the few remaining examples of mid-18th Century country architecture in the region. Commissioned by Elizabeth Thompson and Charles Brandling and later enlarged in 1820, the property has a storied past, including its period of neglect and subsequent restoration in the mid 20-th century. Despite various alterations, Shotton Hall retains much of its historical importance, including the presence of the legendary “Grey Lady”.
Development Potential: The site offers considerable opportunities for redevelopment. Investors may also wish to consider refurbishing the existing hall and function suites or reimagining the property for various new purposes. The site’s picturesque grounds also make it an ideal location for expanding events, weddings, and hospitality services.
