Halecroft is a Grade II* listed building in Hale, a village in the Metropolitan Borough of Trafford in Greater Manchester, England. The building was designed by the architect Edgar Wood as part of a speculative development commissioned by J. Richardson, and was built in 1890; it is an example of Wood's work influenced by the Arts and Crafts Movement. [1] [2] It is one of eleven Grade II* listed buildings in Trafford. [3]
Halecroft is a two-storey building with a single-storey extension added in the 20th century. [4] It uses timber framing, carved wood, pargeting and tile hanging. [2] One of the craftsmen involved was James Lenegan. [5] The windows have mullions and transoms; Clare Hartwell and coauthors write that there are "some interesting touches" to the window design, particularly noting a dormer window featuring a "tiered cap". [2]
As of February 2025 [update] , Halecroft is the head office of Britannia Hotels. [6]
