Visit this grand 17th-century tenanted farmhouse and you’ll discover period fireplaces, oak panelling and a grand oak staircase.

The Hall

Braithwaite Hall is an unusual building that isn’t typical of the area. It's thought that its grand appearance may be connected with the development of lead mining on the estate.

When you first step inside, take some time to admire the stone-flagged entrance hall, and note the impressive workmanship evident on the oak staircase. Then take in the incredible decor of the Drawing Room, with its authentic oak panelling, and don’t miss the magnificent 17th-century fireplaces.

How to arrange a visit

The hall, sitting room and carved staircase are open to visitors in June, July and August (by arrangement in advance with the tenant). To enquire about a visit, please email braithwaitehall@nationaltrust.org.uk.

If you arrange to visit Braithwaite Hall, please respect the tenant's privacy by not taking photographs in their home.
