Doxford House, Grade II* listed mansion in Silksworth, England
Doxford House displays architectural elements from the late 18th century with a conservatory and detailed stonework across its expansive structure.
William Johnson initiated the construction of this residence in 1775, and in 1902 Charles David Doxford acquired a 99-year lease on the 24-acre estate.
The mansion represents the evolution of Sunderland's architectural heritage, transitioning from a private residence to a university hall and rehabilitation center.
Located near the A19 road and Doxford International Business Park, this property maintains connections to central Sunderland and regional transportation networks.
The estate features gardens that were transformed into Doxford Park following Aline Doxford's bequest to Sunderland Corporation in 1968.
