Full Description
House and farmstead, still in use, possibly built on the site of an earlier manor. The house was built in the 18th Century, a 2-storey U-plan building, harled, with stone margins. The roof is slated, with moulded skew-ends. A single panelled room survives on the ground floor, in the west wing, with graffiti dated 1742 and the initials 'RM' and 'PM' presumably of the Montgomery family who owned Hatton Mains until circa 1920. There is a mid 18th Century walled garden to the rear of the house, complete with pyramid roofed garden building. To the west of the house is the farmstead. The south wing of the steading dates to the 18th Century and was formerly the stables and coachhouse for the house. The 1st edition OS map shows the steading as a square plan with central open courtyard, and horse mill attached to the outer west wing. A rectangular steading lies to the west, aligned east-west. By the 2nd edition OS map, the open courtyard is shown as roofed, and a further rectangular steading has been added to the north. The main square steading and rectangular steading to the west both survive today, with later alterations and enlargements, while the steading to the north has been removed. The house, walled garden and south wing of the steading are all category B-Listed. Standing building survey of the redundant steading was carried out in October 2013 prior to proposed conversion. The southern wing of the steading dates to the 18th century and was formerly the stables and coachhouse for the house.
