Short profile:
Blagdon Estate is a privately owned, rural property covering 13 square miles in south-east Northumberland.
Though not normally open for public access, during the course of each year, Blagdon Estate hosts a number of prestigious charity events.
Detailed description:
Blagdon was built on the site of a much older manor, between 1720 and 1750, for Matthew White a Newcastle merchant and Lord Mayor and his son, Sir Matthew White, Baronet.
The house has been altered at various dates. In 1782, the original pilasters and cornices were removed from the east front; in 1826 a large portico was built at the front door, designed by Bonomi; and at about the same time the wing to the north was added. In 1945, the portico and various Victorian additions were removed following a fire.
The Stable block to the north-west of the house was designed by James Wyatt in 1791.
