Cragside

Cragside is a late-19th-century Tudor Revival country house in Northumberland, England, built and expanded for William Armstrong, 1st Baron Armstrong. The house is noted for its stone ashlar lower walls, black-and-white half-timbered upper ranges, steep red-tiled roofs and tall clustered chimneys, and sits within an engineered estate of dams, lakes and glasshouses.

As it stood in 1884

What Cragside looked like in its prime.

A rambling Tudor-Revival mansion of warm sandstone ashlar lower walls and black-and-white half-timbered upper gables, covered by steep red clay-tile roofs punctuated by numerous tall, squared stone chimneys; broad mullioned windows and large arched stone doorways animate the entrance front. The house stands against a backdrop of coniferous woodland on a rocky slope, with a wide reddish gravel forecourt, benches and planted terraces before the main archway.
