Halecroft is a Grade II* listed building in Hale, Greater Manchester (grid reference SJ78728636). The building was designed by the architect Edgar Wood as part of a speculative development commissioned by J. Richardson, and was built in 1890–91; 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 two storeys high with a single-storey 20th-century extension.[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, Halecroft is the head office of Britannia Hotels.[6]
