House, now conference centre and restaurant. C17 (probably
early) timber-framed structure largely rebuilt in brick and
greatly extended in 1855, 1891 and 1906. Brick largely
rendered, some extensions in C19 timber-framing and
graduated stone slate and slate roofs. 6-bay 2-storey main
range which was added to at rear. Rendered front has C19
porch and door in bay 4. 2 projecting brick chimney stacks
with diagonally set shafts and a C17 gabled 2-storey bay in
bay 7 marking the upper end of the hall. It is timber-
framed with ovolo-moulded corner posts, 3-light mullion
and transom casements on each foor and carved brackets
supporting the jettied first floor. The gable is coved. The
other bays have 3 or 4-light mullion and transom casements
many retaining glazing bars. The right return also displays
original timber-framing, the theme being continued in a C19
wing which projects behind and is jettied out above a stone
canted bay window. Additions to left and rear of 1 and 2
storeys of C19 and C20. The rear is largely rendered and has
various casement and sash windows. Interior: the hall has
beams supported on posts which extend through 2 floors.
Beams and posts are ovolo-moulded and formed the basis of
the timber-framed structure which from the shape of the
first floor ceiling would appear to have interesting
cambered tie-beam roof trusses. The first floor rooms have
a bolection-moulded fire surround and overmantel in timber
and C17 bolection-moulded fielded oak panelling. Vaulted
brick cellar. Some old features are said to have come from
Hulme Hall after demolition. C19 internal features are not
without interest. Seat of the Egerton family and home of
James Brindley and the 3rd Duke of Bridgewater during the
construction of the Bridgewater canal.
