Step into the enchanting world of Summerlands Hall, a magnificent gothic mansion house built in 1846. Designed by the renowned architect George Webster for a Lancashire mill owner, this historic property exudes timeless elegance and grandeur. Summerlands Hall is not just a home; it's a testament to the dedication and vision of its current owners. Their commitment to preserving the hall's history and architectural significance shines through in every detail. With its rich heritage, breathtaking architecture, and idyllic setting it offers a truly extraordinary living experience. The property also benefits from Summerlands Hall and Summerlands Tower being held on separate deeds, and therefore does not attract the higher rate of Stamp Duty Land Tax.

The History

"Summerlands Hall & Tower are now one of the few remaining intact mansion houses that haven't been split into apartments" In 1978, the hall was divided into three separate homes, resulting in the blocking up of arches, doorways, and the covering of fireplaces, floors, and lowered ceilings to accommodate modern living. However, over the past five years, the current owners have embarked on an extensive restoration project, breathing new life into this architectural gem. With great care and attention to detail, the owners have meticulously researched and executed a full programme of works and improvements, both internally and externally. Their dedication and passion have brought Summerlands Hall back to its former glory, reinstating the original arches and doorways in the tower wing and restoring the hall to its true magnificence. The restoration process has been carried out with utmost respect for the hall's history and architectural integrity. Sympathetic design and interiors have been carefully chosen to complement the gothic aesthetic, where each room tells a story, inviting you to step back in time while enjoying the comforts of modern-day living. As you explore the hall, you'll be greeted by the grandeur of the restored arches and doorways,...
