Featherstone Castle

Featherstone Castle is a large castellated country house on the bank of the River South Tyne in Northumberland, England. The building preserves medieval elements including a 14th-century pele tower but was substantially remodelled and enlarged into a Gothic-style castellated mansion during post-medieval alterations, becoming a rectangular house with a central courtyard and towers at each angle.

The shape it held in its prime.

A large rectangular castellated stone country house of warm grey-brown ashlar and coursed rubble, with a central rounded drum tower flanked by rectangular angle towers and continuous battlemented parapets along the roofline. The principal façade shows tall multi-light mullioned windows in two main storeys above smaller ground-floor openings; a wide arched carriageway penetrates the right-hand wing. The complex sits above a low stone boundary wall with open lawn and the River South Tyne immediately beyond.
