Kings have literally walked these halls.
And this home is worthy of royalty. On the market for £4,250,000, this Waddington hall nestled on the outskirts of Clitheroe is comfortably one of the most strikingly perfect homes out there. Take a look around...
Waddington Old Hall is one of the oldest houses in the area.
A stunning building, the property dates back to medieval times.
Word has it that, while at dinner, the King had to make a hasty exit via a secret staircase, fleeing through a window. Despite his fleet-footed escape, he was subsequently captured and taken to the Tower of London.
While the exact date of building is unconfirmed, King Henry VI took shelter at the home after being defeated in the Battle of Hexham during the Wars of the Roses in 1464.
Accessed via two double wrought-iron electric gates, the entrance to the home itself is very Game of Thrones.
Renovated over the years, the home was first altered meticulously by John Waddington between 1899 and 1901.
The home boasts a beautiful panelled drawing room, with an impressive stone fireplace and windows seats to the east and west.
With five reception rooms, there's no shortage of places to curl up.
The property also features many period characteristics.
There is also a dining room with an open fireplace.
The kitchen has gorgeous beams stretching across the ceiling.
There is also an Aga in the kitchen.
The home's conservatory opens up into the beautiful gardens.
