Oakfield Manor was originally a country house in Upton-by-Chester, near Chester, Cheshire, England.

[2] The house was extended in 1892 for the same client by Harry Beswick, and some alterations have been made during the 20th century.

[1] In 1930 George Mottershead bought the house and estate for £3,500 (equivalent to £280,000 in 2023),[3] and started the development of Chester Zoo.

[2] As the zoo has grown, the house has been retained and converted for use as a business, educational and wedding venue,[5] and the west wing of the stables for storage.

The architectural features include two-storey canted bay windows with a castellated parapet and dormers, differently shaped gables, and a projecting porch with a finial in the form of a griffin.
