Close House, Georgian estate in Heddon-on-the-Wall, England.
The Close House estate encompasses 606 acres of land with 11 acres of water features and a mansion constructed in 1779 using Georgian architectural designs.
Originally named Albery Close, the estate belonged to the Radcliffe family before being acquired by Robert Bewicke in 1620, remaining in the Bewicke family for three centuries.
Calverley and Mary Bewicke established the first educational institution in Houghton in 1823, serving as the primary school until a state facility opened in Heddon.
The estate currently functions as a private residence and golf club, featuring multiple courses and facilities accessible to golf enthusiasts throughout the year.
During World War II, the mansion served multiple purposes, including housing evacuees and operating as a Nursing Training College for medical professionals.
