Sudley House
About

Sudley House, set in leafy Mossley Hill, is the only Victorian merchant’s home in the UK to retain its original art collection. Once the residence of shipping magnate George Holt, the elegant 19th-century villa showcases masterpieces by Turner, Gainsborough, Millais, Rossetti, Burne-Jones and Landseer, displayed just as the family lived with them. Bequeathed to the city by Holt’s daughter, Emma, in 1944, the house offers a rare glimpse into both the grandeur of a prosperous Liverpool household and the tastes of a discerning collector. Period rooms are furnished with original pieces, while interpretive displays reveal the Holts’ story and the city’s maritime wealth. Surrounded by tranquil gardens, Sudley House invites visitors to step back in time, explore its intimate galleries, and enjoy a unique blend of fine art, history, and domestic charm in a setting that feels both personal and timeless.
