Chaddock Hall

Chaddock Hall is a house dating from the 17th and 18th centuries, with alterations in the 19th century. It is constructed of brick and timber-framing, most of which has been rendered over, and has a slate roof. The house is T-shaped, with a further range added to the left, likely in the late 18th century. The main facade has four bays; the first is gabled and has two 12-pane sash windows on the ground floor. The upper floors contain three replacement casement windows. A rainwater head at the rear is dated 1721. The second bay is also gabled, marking the extent of the original timber-framed structure, which remains largely intact. This bay contains a 19th-century canted bay window, a door with an architrave surround, and a replaced casement window on the first floor. Both gables have kneelers, copings, and finials dating to the 19th century. The rear of bays 3 and 4 have date stones; "T.C. 1698" (Thomas Chaydock) and a rainwater head dated "S.C. 1780". Bay 4 also contains three casement windows and a blocked door. A gable chimney stack is present. A gabled crosswing originally extended to the right, forming an H-plan, but has since been demolished. Rear additions date from the 18th and 19th centuries.

The interior of the timber-framed section comprises two rooms deep, with a central crosswall rising through two storeys. This crosswall has diagonal bracing and a raised cruck truss. An ogee-arched door lintel is also present. Early six-panel and boarded doors are found throughout. Notable features include fine plasterwork ceilings and cornices, and a fine early 19th-century staircase with a moulded handrail, column-on-vase balusters, a cut string, and fluted column newels. Beams are present, some with broach stops. One room features fine 17th-century panelling, including lozenge panels, original beams, and an ovolo-moulded beam taken from Eccles Parish Church.
