Batherton Hall

Originally a single farmhouse, now divided into two houses, Batherton Hall dates to the mid-17th century with later alterations and additions. The building is constructed of red brick with an old tile roof. It is two storeys and an attic, comprising four bays, with a later two-storey, two-bay wing at the rear (south-west) and a two-storey, one-bay wing at the front (north-east). A projecting plinth is visible, with a weathered top course made partly of stone and partly of brick-on-edge. Stone quoins are present at a low level. The wall is generally constructed of stretcher bond in thin bricks. There is one sash window, but most windows are flush casements with segmental or cambered arches. One four-panel door features two raised and fielded panels and two bead and flush panels; the remaining doors are 20th-century replacements. Projecting eaves and a verge band are visible. Inside, you’ll find bevelled beams and exposed ceiling joists. The beams in the south-west wing are chamfered in an 18th-century style, alongside ledged and battened doors.
