Mottram Old Hall, Tameside, English country house in Tameside, England
Mottram Old Hall is a two-storey country house built from stone with a slate roof, situated on extensive grounds between two country lanes. A substantial rear wing added in the early 18th century extends the original structure.
The house was built in its main form during 1825, though a rear section was constructed a century earlier around 1727. Ownership passed from the Hollingworth family to the Hadfield family over time.
The house shows features typical of 19th-century English country estates in its design and materials. People visiting can see how wealthy families built their homes with local stone and craftsmanship.
The property sits on private grounds reached through a tree-lined drive. The setting is quiet and suited to those who appreciate peaceful countryside surroundings.
A historical mausoleum can still be found along the drive leading to the house, serving as a family memorial. A plaque marks where a statue once stood, placed by Samuel Hadfield to honor his late brother George.
