Doxford House is an 18th-century mansion in the Silksworth area of Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, England.

[1] Formerly known as Silksworth House, it was constructed in 1775–1780 by William Johnson who on his death in 1792 bequeathed the property to his friend Hendry Hopper.

In 1831 Priscilla Hopper, then heiress to the estate, married William Beckwith of Thurcroft.

[3] In 1989, the house became a students’ hall of residence for Sunderland University and from about 2000 to 2006 was occupied by the Lazarus Foundation, a drug rehabilitation charity.
