Belford Hall

Belford Hall is an English country house featuring symmetrical design with classical proportions and stone construction set across multiple levels in Northumberland countryside. The building displays Palladian architectural elements that define its formal appearance.

The house was built between 1754 and 1756 when Abraham Dixon hired architect James Paine for its construction in its original form. In 1818, John Dobson added new wings that expanded and altered the building's structure.

The house once served as a family seat representing wealth and standing in the region, before becoming residential apartments. Its transformation reflects how country estates adapt to modern living while retaining their historical character.

The building now houses private residential apartments, with surrounding grounds partially converted into a golf course. Access may be limited since it is private property, so checking beforehand is important.

An 18th-century folly stands in the grounds with its own separate Grade II listed status. This small architectural curiosity is frequently overlooked by visitors despite being an important part of the estate's history.
