Abandoned Hall by the Lake

This Hall was built in the late Nineteenth Century by local doctor and property speculator although he himself is not thought to have lived there. The Hall was originally the home of The Coddington family who lived in the Hall for many years until around 1920. 
In the 1930′s the house was acquired by the YHA and became a Youth Hostel. Later the hall has been at various times a private dwelling, a nightclub and a hotel.

The hall is set in stunning countryside, overlooking a lake. 

On gaining access we found ourselves in the entrance hall with the impressive staircase.

The entrance porch had stained glass which had unfortunately been splattered with paint.

The staircase and banister were also liberally covered in splatters of white paint.

The staircase seemed quite solid but we were wary of dodgy floorboards. 

There was little left inside and not much of interest to see. The most impressive feature was the staircase and banister.

This building would undoubtedly have been an impressive house in its day. Sad to see it in its current state - just a shell of a building. Hopefully plans to renovate it will come to fruition.
