Hathershaw Hall is a long, low, two-storey stone house standing back from Hollins Road; it faces south across an open space surrounded by a dry-stone wall.

The gable ends are surmounted by ball-shaped, ornamental stone finials retained from the original structure.

Following abandonment by wealthy owners, much of the original hall was demolished and the remaining portion was divided into five cottages.

[3] By repute the hall was the home of a 17th-century Royalist family who lost part of its possessions as a result of the English Civil War.

It now comprises a large house with the westernmost portion a separate cottage; the whole building is privately owned.
