Past, Present and Future
Hawkshead House is a substantial former mill owner¿s property. In 1904 Isaac Jackson purchased the mill and house from the right honourable Francis Edward Lord Howard Baron of Glossop and set about converting the former cotton mill.

Isaac and Harriett Jackson moved into Hawkshead House, then a large square property made from local gritstone. The house backed on to the factory and was fronted by a grand, formal garden.

Over the years that followed, the house had an unknown number of extensions and provided both dwelling and in later years, office space for the factory.

Hawkshead House had been somewhat neglected in its design and use and underwent its most radical transformation when purchased in 2019.

With a vision to turn the house in to a high specification, modern family home, whilst respecting the history and period of the house, the new owners began work.

What resulted was a large, well-appointed and tastefully designed home for modern living and now ready for its next custodians.
