Brief description

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seaton_Delaval_Hall

A Grade I listed country house in Northumberland, England. It is near the coast just north of Newcastle upon Tyne. Located between Seaton Sluice and Seaton Delaval, it was designed by Sir John Vanbrugh in 1718 for Admiral George Delaval; it is now owned by the National Trust.

Since completion of the house in 1728, it has had an unfortunate history. Neither architect nor patron lived to see its completion; it then passed through a succession of heirs, being lived in only intermittently. Most damaging of all, in 1822 the central block was gutted by fire, and has remained an empty shell ever since.

The 18th-century gardens of the hall are Grade II* listed on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens."

Please note that our photographs were taken prior to the property being taken over by the National Trust, and "the carriages in the Stable were not part of the National Trust acquisition in 2009 and remained as part of Lord Hastings private collection. Although they did remain here for a time Lord Hastings took the decision around 7 or 8 years ago to sell them to another private collection so unfortunately are no longer in residence at Seaton Delaval Hall."
