Damhouse

Damhouse is a Grade II* listed manor house in Tyldesley built with handmade bricks and timber frames, featuring ornate windows and detailed facade elements. The property today includes offices, medical facilities, tearooms, and surrounding woodlands with public footpaths.

The manor house dates to 1595 when Adam Mort purchased the estate and replaced an older hall. He secured manorial rights for the property by 1606.

The building displays regional building traditions through its handmade brick construction and timber framing, typical of its era. Visitors can observe these craftsmanship details directly in the architecture.

The building sits in Tyldesley surrounded by woodlands and is accessible via public footpaths. Visitors should note that the area is best explored on foot and the woodland setting remains accessible year-round.

The attic contains a rare architectural feature for North West England, a discovered short long gallery from earlier periods. This hidden element reveals the complex building history of the property.
