Aqualate Hall, Grade II* listed building in Forton, England.
The red brick mansion features clay tile roofs, a two-storey polygonal porch, and projecting canted bays decorated with armorial shields on the north front.
The initial manor house from the 16th century underwent multiple transformations, including an 1808 Gothic redesign by John Nash and reconstruction after a 1910 fire.
The Boughey family's continuous ownership of Aqualate Hall since the late 18th century represents the endurance of English country house traditions.
Located 2 miles east of Newport and 10 miles west of Stafford, the private residence remains closed to public access throughout the year.
During World War II, the grounds transformed into a military transport base with Nissen huts that later provided shelter for homeless individuals until 1952.
