Sandhoe Hall, also once known as Sandhoe House, is a 19th-century country house, now converted into residential apartments, at Sandhoe, Northumberland. It is a Grade II listed building.
The Sandhoe estate was owned by the Errington family of nearby Beaufront, but when Henry Errington died childless in 1819, it passed to his great-grandnephew Rowland Stanley of Puddington Hall, Cheshire, the son of Sir Thomas Stanley Bt. Stanley changed his name to Errington. He was High Sheriff of Northumberland in 1855 and became the 11th Errington Baronet in 1863.
In 1850, Sir Stanley Errington commissioned architect John Dobson to rebuild the old house. The south and east fronts are four-bayed with two storeys and alternately gabled attics. The northwest service wing incorporates some of the fabric of the original house.
