Property History

With a fascinating history, a fifteenth century timber framed hall originally stood on the site dating back to 1402 which was occupied by the Montate family later know Maude who Thomas Leach married into. The hall was rebuilt as a stone structure in 1687 by Leach who was a shareholder and major promoter of the Leeds Liverpool Canal which he utilised to transport coal from his pits around the country to industrial areas. In the early 1920’s a large wing of the house to the north of the left of the front lobby/drive way in was demolished. There is a potential to easily reinstate this ‘wing’ to the property provided that externally it is constructed complimentary to the existing, internal dimensions would be secondary to gain planning and listed building approvals.
