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 rusticated pilasters, and similar quoins at the corners. All the windows are sash windows. Along the top of the house is a plain parapet, with a pediment 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.〔http://www.itv.com/news/granada/update/2015-04-28/huge-cannabis-haul-found-at-cheshire-mansion/〕 ==See also== *Grade I and II * listed buildings in Halton (borough) *Listed buildings in Runcorn (rural area) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Daresbury Hall」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
