Description
Hatton Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the mid-15th century, with additions from the 16th and 18th centuries. It features a painted timber frame with painted rendered infill panels and stone rubble, topped with plain-tile roofs. The building has a large projecting stepped rubble stack with an early 20th-century brick upper shaft and a T-shaped plan that includes a 3-bay main range and a 2-bay cross wing.
The exterior is single storey with an attic. The street-facing wall of the cross wing has close-studded framing with arched braces at the first-floor level. There is a large central dormer with a 2-light casement, supported by close-studded side-framing, a tie beam, collar, and vertical and raking struts above. On the right side, the cross wing has a projecting rendered jettied gable with a 20th-century casement on each floor. In the center, there is another 20th-century casement with a large framed dormer above, and to the right, an entrance door with a 2-light casement at the far right. The left side features a projecting rendered gable of the cross wing with a 20th-century casement at each storey, a central projecting stone stack, and a single-storey projecting gabled extension with a garage door in the gable to the left. The main range has a roughcast rendered end gable with an inset 20th-century casement over a stone rubble ground floor.
Inside, the main range contains a former 15th-century open hall with smoke-blackened rafters, an arch-braced collar-truss, and a cruck-truss in the 2-bay former open hall. The 16th-century cross wing features a single trenched purlin roof with windbraces, chamfered bridging beams with ogee chamfer stops, and an 18th-century inserted newel staircase.
