Broxton Old Hall, English country house in Broxton, England.
Description
Broxton Old Hall is a timber-framed country house in Broxton constructed with oak frames, plaster panels, and stone slate roofing. Decorative bargeboards and finials adorn the exterior, giving the structure its distinctive Cheshire character.
History
The house was originally built in 1595 for Thomas Dod and later extended by architect John Douglas in 1873. Materials from the original structure were reused during this enlargement for Sir Philip de Grey Egerton.
Culture
The house represents the regional building traditions of Cheshire through its black and white timber-frame style, with decorative details that reflect the craftsmanship valued in this part of England.
Practical
The property is set within grounds containing formal gardens, terraced areas, lawns, and a lake that remain closed to public access. Visitors can view the exterior of this Grade II listed building and appreciate the surrounding landscape from nearby pathways.
Did you know?
