Description
Hatherley Manor Hotel is a former manor house that has been converted into a hotel. It has elements from the 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. The main structure is refaced in red brick, with a 19th-century ashlar porch, brick outbuildings, and a roof made of slate and red tiles, including some fishscale tiling and brick stacks. The building has a complex layout, featuring a projecting stairwell at the back of the 17th-century main body. There are flat-roofed 20th-century extensions at the rear that are not of special interest.
The main body has a seven-bay, two-storey facade, which is illuminated by plate glass sashes that have gauged brick heads and limestone keystones. To the left, there is a two-bay principal gable that projects forward, and a single bay with a gable set back to the left. Off-centre to the right is a projecting two-storey gabled porch that features a reused four-light mullioned and transomed window on the first floor. Below the window is a scratch sundial with an illegible inscription and foliate scrollwork on the sides and bottom. The porch contains a 20th-century four-panelled pointed studded door within a moulded 'Tudor'-arched surround, situated below stone-mullioned cross windows with ovolo-moulded mullions in the side walls of the porch. The outbuildings to the far left have twin gable ends, and the main body has limestone gable-end coping with ball finials.
Inside, there is a 17th-century open well staircase with barely twist balusters, ball finials, and pendants. The decorative moulded plaster ceilings from the 17th century feature a central rosette within a geometric outline over each landing. On the ground floor, the front left room includes 17th-century panelling with a strapwork frieze around the top and a fine Baroque chimneypiece with a moulded pulvinated frieze and scalloped decoration over flanking cartouches with the inscription "RI MUSGROS HUIUS CAPELLE CONDITOR." A similar fireplace is reputed to be in an upstairs bedroom, along with 17th-century panelling and a Regency fireplace in another upstairs room.
