Runshaw Hall

Runshaw Hall is a two-story country house in Euxton built from red brick with yellow stone details arranged in six bays along its longer side. The grounds contain nine acres of parkland and woodland with four ponds, now converted into residential apartments.

The building was acquired and rebuilt by William Bretherton in 1862, then passed to his son Norris Bretherton in 1890. A severe fire later destroyed the interior, leaving only the walls standing before conversion into residential units began.

The Brothers of Charity operated the hall as a residential facility for young men with mental health needs during the period surrounding World War II.

The grounds are now managed by Runshaw Hall Management Company Limited as apartment complexes spread across the estate. Visitors should be aware that this is private property and access may be restricted to the grounds.

The original stable block was also converted into residential units, making it an integral part of the modern complex alongside the main building. This shows how outbuildings received the same thoughtful restoration as the main structure.
