Abney Hall, Victorian estate in Cheadle, England.
Abney Hall is a Victorian country house in Cheadle, Stockport, with ornately designed reception rooms. The interior decoration was crafted by A.N.N. Pugin and J.G. Crace, who also worked on Westminster's Parliament.
The property was built from 1847 on the site of a print works and was purchased by James Watts in 1849. Major extensions were carried out in the following years, enlarging the main building.
The halls and grounds served as inspiration for Agatha Christie, who wrote two novels during her stays at her brother-in-law's residence. The connection to the writer can still be traced today when walking through the rooms where she developed her stories.
Access is provided through two free parking areas on Manchester Road and Newlands Road, connected by level tarmac paths. The paths make it easy to explore the entire park without encountering any slopes.
The walled garden features an advanced heating system with cavities that channeled warm air from basement furnaces through Gothic ventilation shafts. This rare installation allowed the cultivation of exotic plants even during cold months.
