Gosforth House, English country house in Tyne and Wear, England
Gosforth House stands as a Grade II listed building within Gosforth Park Racecourse, featuring classical architectural elements and substantial gardens across the estate.
The mansion, constructed between 1755 and 1764 by architect James Paine for Charles Brandling, included the creation of a 50-acre lake within the surrounding parkland.
The house experienced a significant event in 1914 when suffragettes set fire to the interior as part of their campaign for women's voting rights.
The property now functions as a conference and hospitality center, providing meeting spaces and event facilities within its historical setting at Newcastle upon Tyne.
The estate spans approximately 2,000 acres and contains one of northern England's primary racecourses, established after High Gosforth Park Ltd acquired the property in 1880.
