Northwood House, English country house in Cowes, United Kingdom.
The Grade II listed Northwood House stands within a 26-acre park, featuring grand reception rooms, a ballroom, and gardens overlooking the Solent.
Built in 1799 for London merchant George Ward, the manor remained in the Ward family for five generations until its donation to Cowes Urban District Council in 1929.
During the Victorian period, the house functioned as a social center where members of the British Royal family attended events while visiting from Osborne House.
The estate offers multiple function spaces for weddings, conferences, and private events, with a combined indoor capacity exceeding 15,000 square feet.
The property contains an original ice house partially buried in the grounds and maintains historic tennis courts alongside a bowling green.
