Brandlesholme Old Hall, Grade II* listed medieval house in Brandlesholme, Bury, England.
Brandlesholme Old Hall is a medieval residential building in Bury with a distinctive exterior. It features a steep slate roof and 19th-century oriel windows that frame the original structure underneath.
The house began as a medieval open-hall building with timber framing. Over centuries it went through various changes before passing to a different family in the early 18th century.
The building shows how English homes changed over centuries as families adapted the structure to their needs. Walking around it, you can see the traces of different periods layered on top of each other.
The house is privately owned and sits on Brandlesholme Road, so you can only view it from outside. The best view comes from the street where you can see the roofline and windows clearly.
Inside the house are original timber elements still preserved, including a wide open fireplace. The roof frame dates to the 16th or 17th century and shows the building method of that era.
