Sizergh Castle

Sizergh Castle is a historic stately home and estate at Helsington, Cumbria, long-associated with the Strickland family and now in the care of the National Trust. The house grew around a medieval tower with later Elizabethan and Georgian ranges and sits within formal gardens, a rock garden, an orchard and a large estate.

The shape it held in its prime.

A stone-built country house composed of an original tall medieval tower attached to long, low stone ranges extended in Elizabethan and later Georgian phases; prominent gabled roofs with wooden bargeboards; mullioned and later sash-style windows in the ranges; broad lawns, clipped yew hedges and mature specimen trees set in formal gardens with a nearby lake and extensive parkland. Interiors include richly oak-paneled rooms and paneling inlaid with pale poplar and dark bog-oak.
