Undoubtedly one of the oldest buildings in Ferryhill, Old Ferryhill House survives with only a few alterations. Now surrounded by a housing estate, only a small portion of its policies survive. The use of sandstone dressings, only seen in a few other buildings in the area, and perhaps used in this case to produce sharp quality dressings before granite working reached its peak in the 19th century.
