Belmont Hall, English country house in Great Budworth, England.

The brick and slate Belmont Hall features a symmetrical three-story front with seven bays and semi-circular two-story bay windows on a stone base.

James Gibbs designed this Grade I listed building in 1755 for John Smith Barry, though local architects completed the construction after Gibbs's death in 1754.

The interior rooms display notable Rococo plasterwork, including a staircase hall panel containing a bust of Diana surrounded by ornate decorative elements.

The Leigh family maintains ownership of Belmont Hall, which functions as Cransley School and includes surrounding grounds with a registered camping site.

The estate retains its original 12th-century monastic fishpond and moat from when Norton Priory managed the land as a grange.
