Nunwick Hall is a privately owned 18th-century country house near Simonburn, Northumberland in North East England. The estate has been the home of the Allgood family since the 17th century. The house is a Grade II* listed building [1] but is not open to the public.
In 1738 Lancelot Allgood married his cousin Jane Allgood, who was heiress to the Nunwick estate, [2] and they built the present three-storey five-bayed house [1] to a Georgian style design by architect Daniel Garrett.
Improvements made in 1829 by architect Ignatius Bonomi included a new entrance porch and east wing.
The grounds were laid out in 1760 and are protected as a Registered Historic Park and as a Grade II listed building. [3]
The ruinous Simonburn Castle to the west was partly rebuilt as a Gothic eye-catcher or folly in 1766, to be seen from Nunwick Hall, but has since collapsed.
