Sweetbriar Hall, Grade II listed building in Nantwich, England
Sweetbriar Hall is a timber-framed house with striking black-and-white patterns on Hospital Street in Nantwich. The building displays the characteristic features of medieval construction, including densely arranged wooden posts and decorative paneling on its walls.
The house was built in the 15th century for the Wilbraham family and survived the devastating fire of 1583 that destroyed large parts of Nantwich. Its survival makes it a valuable record of how buildings and towns were rebuilt after such disasters.
The name comes from a wild rose bush that once grew on the grounds. Visitors walking by can still sense this natural heritage reflected in the building's character and surroundings.
The building is divided into two separate units today, with one part used as offices and the other as a residence. Visitors should note that this is a private property best viewed from the street.
One feature visitors often overlook is the pentagonal bay with a flat roof added between the late 16th and early 17th century. This unusual architectural detail is rare for buildings of that period and reveals the creativity of the builders who worked on it.
