Heawood Hall

Heawood Hall

Heawood Hall is a country house, now divided into three houses, southwest of the village of Nether Alderley, Cheshire, England. It originated in the late 17th century; a tall wing was added in the 18th century.[1] Further alterations were made in 1899, and again in the 20th century. It is constructed in red brick with buff sandstone dressings, and is roofed with Welsh slate.[2] Figueirdo and Treuherz describe it as "a complicated and disjointed-looking house".[1] The three houses are named Heawood Chase, Heawood Hall and Heawood House. The building as a whole is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building.[2]

Building the Alderley Edge bypass in 2010 cut off Heawood Hall from its former entry lodge on the (old) A34. Heawood Hall now has a new entry drive from the Frog Lane roundabout at the south end of the Alderley Edge bypass.
