Riccarton House, Victorian heritage house in Christchurch, New Zealand.

Riccarton House is a two-storey timber homestead in Christchurch, begun in 1855 for Jane Deans and extended in 1874 and 1900. Its first stage used mataī framing, kahikatea weatherboards and bricks made on site; the 1900 addition by Robert England more than doubled the size and added oak panelling cut from a tree on the property.

Jane Deans commissioned this house in 1855 following her husband John's death, with major extensions completed in 1874 and 1900. These additions reflect the family's growth and increasing prosperity during those decades.

The house reflects early European settlement in Canterbury and preserves strong ties to the Deans family's Scottish heritage through its architecture and furnishings. The rooms show how settlers from Britain brought their traditions to their new home.

Riccarton House serves as a restaurant and function venue, and a market is held in front of it on Saturdays. The building reopened in June 2014 after earthquake repairs and a NZ$2.3 million upgrade. Visitors should note that the 1900 extension added eleven bedrooms upstairs and that the main staircase has carved acorns on its newel posts.

The house stands next to Riccarton Bush, one of the last remaining stands of original podocarp forest that once covered the Canterbury plains. This rare forest landscape today serves as a refuge for native bird species.
