Parr Hall Farm was built in 1721 by a
gentleman farmer called Edward Parr. The property has had a chequered history,
but still retains some of its original features.
In the 19th century a rear wing was added as
a harness room to service horse-drawn buses. Later this became Ellison's Motor
Bus Company that plied between Preston, Wigan and Chorley markets.
The farm was purchased by its present owners,
Mike and Kate Motley, in 1972 and has been extensively modernised and
refurbished.
The area is served by a wide variety of good
pubs, restaurants and cafes. Within a short walking distance are The Original
Farmers Arms, Verdes Italian restaurant and a cafe. The village also has two
other public houses and a wine bar.
The area provides access to a wide range of
activities including golf, fishing, horse riding, cycling and walking
opportunities, about which we will be pleased to give advice. Eccleston also provides
a good base for trips to areas such as the Lake District, North Wales and the
coastal areas of Blackpool, Southport and Lytham St Annes.
