Swettenham Hall

Swettenham Hall is a country house standing to the southeast of the village of Swettenham, Cheshire, England. It dates from the 17th century and was remodelled in the 19th century.[1] The house is constructed in pebbledashed brick on a stone plinth with a slate roof. It has a symmetrical façade in seven bays. The central bay has a single-storey canted bay window, and the second and sixth bays have two-storey canted bay windows. All the windows are sashes. At the rear of the house is a large three-bay canted bay window containing three pairs of French windows, above which are gables. The house is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building.[2] Also listed at Grade II is a range of farm buildings to the east of the hall dating from the middle of the 18th century,[3] and a private chapel to the northwest of the hall built in 1852.[4]
