Legh Hall stands to the east of the village of Mottram St Andrew, Cheshire, England. It was built in the middle of the 18th century for William Brocklehurst of Macclesfield.[1] The house was built to replace Legh Old Hall.[2] Additions were made in the late 19th century, with alterations in the 20th century. The house is constructed in red brick with yellow headers. It is roofed with Welsh slate.[3] Its architectural style is Georgian.[1] The house is in 2½ storeys, and has a symmetrical five-bay front. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building.[3]
