Blandfield is a historic plantation house located at Caret, Essex County, Virginia. It was built about 1716-1720, and is a brick dwelling consisting of a two-story, central block with flanking two-story dependencies connected by one-story hyphens in the Georgian style. Blandfield was built for William Beverley (1696-1756), son of Virginia's first native-born historian, Robert Beverley, Jr. (c. 1673-1722). The house is one of the largest colonial plantation mansions in Virginia, and as of 1969, was still in the Beverley family.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1969.
