Ravenscroft Hall is a country house standing to the east of the B5309 road (King Street) about 1 mile (1.6 km) to the north of Middlewich, Cheshire, England. The house was built in 1837 for William T. Buchanan, replacing a former Jacobean house.[1] It was extended, possibly in 1852 when the house was bought by the Moss family,[1] and again in 1877.[2] The house has since been divided into two dwellings.[3] It is constructed in roughcast and yellow brick, with stone dressings and slate roofs. The house is in two storeys, with a main front of five bays, and a five-bay extension to the northeast. The garden front also has five bays.[3] The house has an Ionic porch,[2] and an Italianate belvedere.[1] It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building.[3]
