Homes at a new development in the grounds of a historic North East castle have gone on the market.
Lambton Park on the banks of the River Wear in Chester-le-Street near Durham City has been the ancestral seat of the Earls of Durham. And a series of homes on the estate have gone on the market, set in 1000 acres of woodland, complete with a castle.
Homes on the Lambton Park development by Miller Homes start from just over £200,000 for a one bedroom apartment, with "top of the range" Oak and Aspen coming it between £500,000 and £600,000. Designed by the architect behind HM The King's Poundbury estate at Dorset, the higher end homes aim to combine historically empathetic design with state-of-the-art features.
