You could live in this remarkable East Lancashire property, once known to King Edward III

Huntroyde Hall occupies the original 14th century site of a hunting lodge of John O’ Gaunt, brother of King Edward III. 

Huntroyde Hall estate came into the Starkie family around 1465 and this property, a substantial part of the first officially recorded house on the site, was built in 1576 by

Edmond Starkie, marked by a date stone ES 1576 above the rear entrance door. 

Further wings were added to the west side in 1777 and 1850, and when these were demolished in 1963, many of the original architecturally-significant fixtures and fittings including Italian marble Adam fireplaces, Argentinian mahogany doors and panelling were transferred to the present hall and remain within the property.

In 1879 the kitchen court was enclosed with the addition of the game larders, offices and stores, a substantial part of which is now part of this property.

In 1885/1888 the whole house was re-faced in stone and the tower section with flagpole was added, and in 1963 and 1970 the hall was reduced to its present manageable size and internal alterations made so that Huntroyde Hall, as it now exists, can be classed as the historic core of the original hall and contains many of the original historic, architectural and other features.

The extensive gardens laid largely to lawn and parkland are believed to have been designed by Capability Brown, one of the world’s most renowned landscape architects.

There is a courtyard and a selection of many bedrooms in the hall. 
There is a glazed door leading from the cinema room to  a vaulted storage cellar and wine cellar.

There is a tower-galleried bedroom with stone mullioned windows.
