Axwell House is a mansion house and Grade II* listed building, situated at Axwell Park, Blaydon, Tyne and Wear.
An early manor house on the site was acquired by James Clavering, a merchant adventurer of Newcastle upon Tyne in 1629 for £1700. In 1758 his descendant Sir Thomas Clavering replaced the house with a substantial mansion and assisted architect James Paine(1712-1789) in the Palladian design of the new house.
Having stood empty, neglected and deteriorating the property was acquired in 2006 by property developers for restoration and conversion to residential apartments
