Oakfield Manor, Victorian country house in Upton-by-Chester, England.
Oakfield Manor features red Ruabon brick construction with blue-brick diapering, red sandstone details, and a traditional Welsh slate roof covering.
Edward Ould designed this Grade II listed building in 1885 for B. Chaffers Roberts, with Harry Beswick completing an extension in 1892.
The manor's interior displays Victorian design elements through detailed wood paneling and stained glass windows that represent period craftsmanship.
The building now functions as Chester Zoo's headquarters, offering administrative spaces and serving as a modern British dining establishment.
The stable section of the property contains marks left by lions near the base of its circular stair turret from its early zoo period.
