Description
Hatfeild Hall is a large house that was later converted into a hotel and is now in a ruinous and disused state. It was built around 1600 and remodelled around 1775 for J. Hatfeild Kaye. The front is made of ashlar stone, while the rest of the building is rendered. The Welsh slate roof has mostly collapsed. The building is two storeys high and has five bays, with a symmetrical front where the central three bays project slightly under a gable. There are two-storey, three-light canted bay windows on each side. The ground-floor openings, including the central door, are Gothic-arched, and the upper floor windows, which now have casements, are square-headed and set in raised surrounds. There are sill bands present. The central gable features a quartered shield with the words "SE QUOD AUDES". The right return has three gables, with the right end being an addition, and the centre and left gables each have a quatrefoil in the apex. The left return has gables at both ends.
Inside, the left front room is styled in the 17th century with panelling and an intricate plaster frieze depicting a merman whose arms are intertwined with those of a mermaid on each side, supported by wyverns. The right front room features a delicate Adam-style plaster ceiling with roundels, panels, figures, and trophies, although the central rose is missing.
The house has fallen into disrepair following a fire in the 1980s.
