Butley Hall is a former large house, now converted into flats, in the village of Prestbury, Cheshire. It was rebuilt in 1777 for Peter Downes.[1] The house was extended by an addition to the north in the 19th century, and converted into flats during the 20th century. It is constructed in sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings, it has Kerridge stone-slate roofs, and five brick chimneys. The main front of the house is in two storeys and seven bays. The central three bays protrude forwards and are surmounted by a triangular pediment.[2] On each side of the front are wings with Venetian windows.
