Beautiful, carefully preserved, Grade 1 listed house in Northumbria, managed by a thoroughly modern couple.

Capheaton, Northumberland NE19, UK

This historic, Jacobite, Grade 1 Listed house, between Belsay and Wallington, was designed and built, in 1668, by Robert Trollope for Sir John Swinburne, 1st Baronet. Though enlarged about 1800, it still retains its charming Restoration baroque features and the extensive gardens enjoy wonderful views over the 18thC park and fully maintained kitchen garden and greenhouses.

The Swinburne family (now Browne-Swinburne) live in Capheaton Hall and run the estate, as they have done for 700 years. The luxury self-catering accommodation is in the West Wing and the family occupy the East Wing and centre of the house.
