Goldings estate, Country house in Hertford, England

Located on a south-facing slope 4 kilometers northwest of Hertford, Goldings Estate features a Tudor-style mansion designed by architect George Devey between 1871 and 1877.

The initial Goldings mansion, constructed around 1700 for Thomas Hall, underwent significant changes when Robert Smith acquired the estate and commissioned a new residence in 1871.

The estate reflects Victorian architectural preferences through its Tudor-style elements, terraced gardens, ornamental areas, and notable specimen trees including cedars and Wellingtonias.

The 100-hectare property contains two walled gardens, multiple listed bridges, and maintains its original entrance through Goldings Lodge off North Road.

After serving as a private residence, the estate transformed into a Dr. Barnardo's Home in 1921, providing care for orphaned children until its closure in 1967.
