Radbroke Hall is a former country house in the parish of Peover Superior, Cheshire, England. It takes it's name from a stream, Red Brook, that runs through the grounds.

It was built between 1914 and 1917 for a Manchester businessman Claude Hardy and his wife Olga, the architect was Percy Worthington.[1] Claude Hardy was a textile manufacture from Belfast who had a successful textile business in Manchester. Unfortunately Claude's death in 1916 left his widow to oversee the completion of the building work alone.

The hall is built of Portland stone which was brought by train to a local railway station from Weymouth. Main features of the Hall include a white marble staircase, a music room, and an oval dining room. The house is designated by English Heritage as a Grade II listed building.[2]

The Hardy family left the Hall mainly unoccupied during the 1920 and 1930's and sold it in 1955 to the Nuclear Power Company who built offices and a testing tower in the grounds.

Since 1972 the house has been used as offices and meeting rooms by Barclays Bank.[3] Within the grounds are various sporting facilities for employees and a technology centre.
