Blagdon Hall, Grade I listed country house in Stannington, United Kingdom
The three-story, seven-bay stone building stands near the center of a 175-hectare estate surrounded by formal gardens and pleasure grounds.
Construction of the house took place between 1720 and 1752 under Matthew White and his son, with later modifications by architects John Dobson and Ignatius Bonomi.
The White Ridley family has maintained ownership since 1698, with current resident Matt Ridley continuing the legacy through his work as a science writer.
The estate opens to visitors during charity events throughout the year, featuring walks through gardens, temples, and specially designated parking areas.
Two large white bull statues mark the entrance gates, while the grounds contain the sole surviving bronze statue of Milo of Croton by John Graham Lough.
