Description

An extraordinary opportunity to acquire both halves of one of the North West of England’s most historically important country houses—a residence steeped in royal, architectural and aristocratic lineage. Set within approximately 15 acres* of Capability Brown-inspired parkland. The Hall occupies the original 14th-century site of a hunting lodge believed to belong to John of Gaunt, brother of King Edward III and has been a site of heritage and prestige for over 600 years.

The estate came into the hands of prominent local family around 1465, who played a poignant role in Lancashire’s social and political history for centuries. The present Hall—marked by a dated stone inscribed ES 1576 above the rear entrance. Forms a significant part of the earliest officially recorded house on the site. Over the next three centuries, the house was extended and refined with great architectural sensitivity, including the addition of Georgian and Victorian wings, many elements of which were preserved and incorporated into the Hall during its remodelling in the 20th century.

Among the fine architectural features are Italian marble ‘Adam’ fireplaces, Argentinian mahogany panelling and stone mullioned windows, while the grand billiard room, timber panelling and hand-carved staircase attest to the craftsmanship of its later Victorian enhancements. In 1885–88, the house was elegantly refaced in stone and the iconic tower with flagpole was added—still a striking feature of the skyline today.

In 1963 and 1970, the Hall was respectfully reduced in size to create the two current residences—The East and The West—each retaining significant architectural and historical features from the original estate.

Now, for the first time in generations, both wings are offered for sale, presenting a unique chance to restore the Hall as a single, cohesive home. Whether maintained as two stately residences or reunited into one, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire a landmark home of regional and national historical significance.

Very few properties in the North of England can match The Hall in terms of provenance, architectural pedigree and potential to create a truly one of a kind family home. A true jewel in the Lancashire countryside, this estate offers not only a magnificent home, but also a rare chance to become a custodian of one of Britain's great country houses.
