Willaston Old Hall is a former manor house in the village of Willaston, in the unitary authority of Cheshire West and Chester, England. The building carries the date 1558,[1] but both the authors of the Buildings of England series, and Figueirdo and Treuherz, argue that this date is too early for the architectural style of the house.[2][3] Figueirdo and Treuherz are of the opinion that it was built in the early 17th century for Hugh Bennet.[3] The house is constructed in red brick and stands on a red sandstone plinth. It has sandstone dressings and quoins, and a slate roof with stone ball finials.[1] The entrance front is symmetrical,[2] and consists of five bays, with three storeys. The central and the outer bays project forward and are gabled.[1] The windows are mullioned and transomed.[2] The house is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building.[1]
