Staircase House, England

Staircase House was originally a medieval hall built in 1460.

The house is set in the heart of Stockport's historic market place and boasts an intriguing array of rooms linked by corridors and narrow passages.

All the rooms have been restored using period colours, furniture and artefacts which reflect the attraction's long and eventful history. The bedroom boasts a seventeenth century four poster bed, there's a two hundred year old table in the eighteenth century dining room, an authentic busy kitchen, and some historic lighting in the tallow room. There are also rumours of ghostly goings-on and the house is allegedly haunted by the ghost of Robert Owten, former butler to the Shallcross family.

You can find plenty of things in the gift shop and relax in Blackshaw's Café located nearby in Stockport's Market.
