Hatch End

This house, located in Nun Monkton, dates from the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Constructed of brick in English bond, it has a pantile roof. The building follows a three-cell lobby-entry plan. It is two storeys tall and has four bays. A 20th-century panelled door is centrally positioned in the third bay, flanked by casement windows within slightly enlarged openings that have basket arches. A small casement window to the left also sits beneath a similar arch, with evidence of an earlier window above. A first-floor band runs around the building. Four two-light casements on the first floor break the dentilled eaves course and were likely inserted in a later date. The roof has sprocketed eaves, a raised gable end to the right and a ridge stack. The gable ends have tumbled-in details. Inside, the dining room retains hand-cut cross beams and joists, with evidence of a former partition between the houseplace and parlour. An inserted staircase is located to the left end. The bressumer above the dining room fireplace is chamfered on its inner face. A small salt cupboard with butterfly hinges is situated to the left of the fireplace, and the stack above is clearly visible on the landing. Extensions to the rear are not considered to be of particular architectural interest.
