Courteenhall House
Georgian house retaining almost all of its original features in a Repton park.
Northampton NN7 2QD
Courteenhall House, built in 1792, is a stunning example of classic Georgian architecture, built by Samuel Saxon.
The grounds were designed by Humphrey Repton and the arboretum is internationally recognised for its collection of rare and beautiful trees and shrubs.
Courteenhall House was commissioned by Sir William Wake (10th baronet), and retains almost all of its original features. It remains the home of the Wake family to this day and is a treasure trove of family and national history. The house is very rarely opened to the public. The grounds were designed by the legendary Humphrey Repton and can be viewed in detail. The arboretum, planted by Sir Hereward Wake (14th baronet), is visited by the International Dendrology Society and the Royal Forestry Society, amongst others, for its stunning and rare specimens.
Open by private tour only. For enquiries about tours email our tours officer at pat.jacobs@historichouses.org.
