Roddam Hall, English country house in Roddam, England.
Roddam Hall is a three-story Georgian mansion with five bays positioned on elevated ground overlooking a deep valley in Northumberland. The building displays characteristic proportions and sits prominently above the surrounding landscape.
The Roddam family owned the property for centuries before Edward Roddam built this house in the early 1700s after selling his previous estate at Houghton. The building emerged during a period when Georgian architecture dominated English country house design.
Admiral Robert Roddam acquired the property in 1776, establishing connections with military figures including his brother-in-law General Sir Henry Clinton.
The building underwent major interior renovation and restoration work in the 1970s under architect Tom Bird. Visitors should note that these modern changes have shaped the interior layout significantly.
Lord James Percy, brother of the Duke of Northumberland, purchased the property as a private residence in 2012. This connection to regional nobility continues to the present day.
