Stanhope Old Hall
A 17th-century fortified manor house, supposedly haunted. Previously run as a Hotel and Restaurant, it is now a private house.
For sale in 2012, at a Guide Price of £895,000, it is described as follows:
"Stanhope Old Hall is a stunning Grade II* listed medieval manor house with origins reputedly dating back to 1139. The beautiful and generous accommodation spans four floors and exudes character with mullioned windows, flagstone floors, heavily beamed ceilings and impressive inglenook fireplaces. The first resident of dwelling on the site was William De Monte in the mid 12th Century with some remodelling and additions taking place in the Elizabethan /Jacobean periods.
It was also the ancient family house of the Fetherstonhaugh’s and was a hunting lodge for the Bishops of Durham. More recently it was operated as a hotel, although it is presently utilised as a private family home.
Stanhope Old Hall presently offers five reception rooms and 10 bedrooms many of which have en suite facilities."
No mention is made of paranormal appearances.
