Aldingham House is located in an elegant early Victorian terrace in the City of Carlisle's finest residential area. The house was built by the Duke of Devonshire around 1840, and possibly designed by Sir Joseph Paxton designer of the Crystal Palace at the Great Exhibition of 1851. Retaining many original features, it is probably the finest period property offering Bed & Breakfast accommodation in Carlisle, and this Grade II listed town house is situated in the Stanwix Village Conservation Area.
