Had a look at this place recently with two non members Paul and Shirley. Bit of a strange one this with three different parts to it. First the out buildings which are pretty striped with the odd sofa and strange stuff dotted around to keep it interesting. Second part the swimming pool which I though was the best part. Lovely blue tiles which go well with the green of the vegetation that has crawled across the roof of the pool. Finally the Hall. Dark, damp, slimy tip inside thb with stuff strewn everywhere. Some interesting little bits but on the hole a mess. Not a bad 2 plus hours spent round here until darkness ended the explore.
Daresbury Hall is a former country house in the village of Daresbury, Cheshire, England. It was built in 1759 for George Heron. The house is constructed in brown brick with stone dressings, and has a slate roof. Its architectural style is Georgian. The house is in three storeys and seven bays. It has a stone plinth and stone bands between the storeys. Framing the middle three bays are rusticatedpilasters, and similar quoins at the corners. All the windows are sash windows. Along the top of the house is a plain parapet, with apediment above the central three bays. For some years from 1955 it was used by a charity, now known as Scope, as a residential home for handicapped people. The house is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building.
In April 2015, a huge cannabis farm containing six hundred plants with an estimated street value of £750 000 was discovered at the former county mansion in an annex at the estate.
