Hatton Grange and garden wall to south west with gate and gatepiers

House. Built 1764–1768 by Thomas Farnells Pritchard, with alterations and additions dating to circa 1896 and circa 1900. Red brick with ashlar dressings and hipped slate roof. The building comprises a central three-storey block with quadrant linking walls connecting to set-back one-storey pavilions.

South west front: The elevation features a plinth, first-floor string course, cornice, and blocking course. A triangular pediment crowns the central three slightly projecting bays, which display a central oval plaque and carved festoons of fruit and flowers in the tympanum. Ridge stacks are positioned off-centre to left and right, with two further stacks to the rear. The fenestration follows a 2:3:2 bay arrangement with the centre three bays narrower than the outer bays. Glazing bar sashes with gauged heads light the outer bays, whilst the centre three bays feature sashes set within lugged architraves and with bracketed cills. A central first-floor arched window has a triple keyed architrave. Circa 1896, two-storey canted bay windows were added to the outer bays, each topped with a balustraded parapet. The central entrance comprises a half-glazed door with semi-circular fanlight, flanked by a doorcase with architrave consisting of unfluted Doric half columns, triglyph frieze, and an open triangular pediment.

North west entrance front: Three original bays with central windows bearing lugged architraves and a first-floor cornice. A circa 1900 ground-floor addition extends across five unequal bays, featuring a plinth, frieze, cornice, and blocking course. Rusticated end pilasters frame the composition, whilst the centre three bays are articulated with Tuscan pilasters and full entablature. The outer bays are pierced by keyed stone lintels. A central pair of half-glazed doors is sheltered by a projecting porch supported on Tuscan columns with entablature and an open triangular pediment. The pediment tympanum bears a shield and motto: "Deo duce comite industria magnanimiter crucem sustine".

South east front: Four bays. Circa 1900, a ground-floor square bay was added to the left with rusticated end pilasters, frieze, cornice, and balustraded parapet. A three-light glazing bar sash to the front has a keyed stone lintel.

Pavilions: Arcaded quadrant linking walls extend to the north west, with stone impost band and coping. The two-storey pavilion features a Tuscan serliana and an open triangular pedimented gable end above, with a circular window in the tympanum. A circa 1900 matching south east pavilion, added via a linking block, includes a serliana to its south east elevation.

Garden wall and gates: A quadrant garden wall projects approximately 20 metres from the house to the south west, constructed in red brick with stone coping. Two gate piers topped with globe finials stand at the north west end, between which hangs a wrought iron gate with an exuberant overthrow.

Interior: The house retains largely original 1764–1768 decoration, with some circa 1900 alterations.

The Morning Room (formerly the entrance hall) features a deep cornice with paterae on the soffit. Doorcases have lugged architraves, pulvinated friezes, and cornices. The chimneypiece displays a lugged architrave frieze with foliage decoration and a cornice.

The Drawing Room is lit by windows with lugged architraves and contains a medillion cornice with paterae. Doors have lugged architraves. The chimneypiece is distinguished by tapered pilasters, a frieze with foliage decoration and a central ram's head.

The Dining Room features a rich frieze and doorcases with lugged architraves and cornices. A large plaster picture panel has a lugged architrave and swan-necked pediment with foliage decoration. The chimneypiece is supported on terms and incorporates a frieze with foliage decoration and a central rustic scene, with scrolled acanthus brackets supporting a rich cornice. Above the fireplace, an overmantel plaster panel contains festoons, drops, and a central music "trophy" composed of various musical instruments. A depressed-arched sideboard recess contains a plaster harvest "trophy" incorporating agricultural implements and produce.

The Library has a dentil cornice. Its chimneypiece features a frieze with foliage decoration and central urns.

The Staircase hall contains a circa 1900 three-flight rectangular well staircase with twisted balusters, square newels, and Ionic pilasters to the first-floor landing. Chinoiserie and Gothic fireplaces occupy the former first-floor middle chamber and dressing room.

Setting: The landscaped grounds include a natural ravine with a chain of former monastic fishponds. An octagonal classical temple, designed by Clough Williams Ellis circa 1960, stands within the grounds but is not separately listed.
