East Wing, Bolam Hall enjoys a magnificent setting to the north of Belsay and Ponteland, just off the A696. The property, which is believed to have been constructed in 1810, is Grade II listed and was built for Robert Horsley for his daughter Charlotte Philadelphia on her marriage to John Beresford the Baron Desies. The property is built in ashlar, with Lakeland slate roof. The East Wing has a pedimented door in second bay with Venetian window above.
