Rode Hall, English country house and house museum in Odd Rode, England.
Rode Hall is a country house and house museum in Odd Rode featuring a Georgian brick building with stone elements throughout. The structure has two sections with seven and five bays that were joined together in 1800 to create the current form.
Roger Wilbraham acquired the estate in 1669 and had a new brick building constructed between 1700 and 1708, replacing the original timber-framed structure. This rebuilding marked the shift from older to more modern architecture at the location.
The rooms inside display Georgian style with decorated plaster ceilings and collections of period paintings, furniture, and fine porcelain from that era. Walking through these spaces shows how people of that time decorated their homes and valued craftwork.
The property opens to visitors from April through September with guided tours available at the main entrance. Accessibility varies depending on the season, so it is helpful to check ahead about which areas will be open during your visit.
A brick-lined grotto tunnel in the gardens features decorative elements made from plaster and seashells and connects to an underground ice storage structure. This hidden feature shows creative solutions that past residents used to improve their daily life.
