Sedgwick House, Grade II listed country house in Sedgwick, Cumbria, England.
The sandstone structure features a central four-story battlemented tower, green slate roofs, and an L-shaped layout formed by two perpendicular wings.
Built in 1868 for William Henry Wakefield, owner of a gunpowder factory, the house later served as a school for children with special needs until 1987.
The Lancaster architects Paley and Austin incorporated Gothic Revival elements into their design, including a hammerbeam roof and granite colonnettes in the entrance hall.
The former country house has been converted into residential apartments, while its grounds now serve the local cricket club activities.
The entrance hall displays a large fireplace with the inscription 'BE JUST AND FEAR NOT' surrounded by decorative granite colonnettes.
