Lower Huxley Hall is a moated house situated between the villages of Huxley and Hargrave, Cheshire. It dates from the late 15th century, with major additions and alterations in the 17th century, and a small addition was made to the rear in the 19th century. The house is partly timber-framed, the rest being in orange brick, with blue brick diapering. It has sandstone dressings and a Welsh slate roof. The house has an L-shaped plan, and is in two storeys with attics. It was originally a courtyard house but only two wings remain. During the English Civil War the house was taken over by Colonel Croxton and the Parliamentary forces on 5 September 1644, and served as a base for the Siege of Chester. Early in the 19th century it had lapsed into a farmhouse. There is also a Higher Huxley Hall, less than half a mile immediately to the south which dates to at least the 13th century and is now run as a hotel. It is within the council area of Cheshire West and Chester.
