Bolton Hall, English country house in Preston-under-Scar, United Kingdom.

The H-shaped Bolton Hall features roughcast brick construction, traditional stone masonry elements, and a distinctive hipped slate roof spanning its entire structure.

Built in 1678, Bolton Hall underwent complete reconstruction after a fire in 1902, maintaining its status as the central residence of the Bolton estate.

The estate passed through five generations of the Dukes of Bolton before transitioning to the Browne-Powlett family line through inheritance in 1794.

Located in Wensleydale, approximately 3 miles west of Leyburn, Bolton Hall sits within an estate that previously covered 12,000 acres of moorland and woodland.

The grounds contain an 18th-century folly tower, which holds its own Grade II listing status separate from the main house designation.
