This property is no longer on the market

This beautiful, Georgian country home is one of genuine, historic significance for Wigan & Haigh having been originally built for the Earl of Crawford to live in before Haigh Hall was constructed and finished in 1849. Set off Hall Lane, right in the heart of Haigh Country Park, this unique detached residence boasts the perfect balance of a calm, rural setting, coupled with being easily accessible and positioned a mere 1.5 miles from both Wigan Train Stations, the town's shops and amenities. With its own private entrance, impressive sweeping tree lined driveway and visually striking façade, this home creates a truly, magnificent first impression simply oozing grandeur and splendour on a scale which is almost beyond comparable in the area. Set in stunning grounds extending to over 4 acres, it enjoys exceptional views out towards the beautiful Plantations and features landscaped gardens including a sunken rose garden and hidden dens providing a haven for children, an outdoor swimming pool and tennis court which do require renovation plus a twin double garage providing space for 3-4 cars plus workshop, logstore, etc, and an extensive gravelled parking area. There is grazing land and woodland beyond the gardens and separate access to the land is available. Now in need of restoration, the property offers amazing potential with the unique feature of a working Victorian lift. With seven bedrooms upstairs, this makes the house suitable for redevelopment with possible granny flat accommodation. There is a grand hallway with wooden parquet flooring leading to three formal reception rooms each enjoying lovely aspects over the gardens, a breakfast kitchen, utility, study and original games room with panelled walls, snooker table and a 'gin' bar. The original features e.g high ceilings, architraves and deep skirting boards all remain and this adds to the character of this wonderful family home.
