From the Wikipedia article
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. It is one of eleven Grade II* listed buildings in Trafford. Halecroft is a two-storey building with a single-storey extension added in the 20th century. It uses timber framing, carved wood, pargeting and tile hanging. One of the craftsmen involved was James Lenegan. 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". As of February 2025, Halecroft is the head office of Britannia Hotels.
