Hackwood

Hackwood is a Tudor Gothic villa dated 1845. It is constructed of ashlar. The building is two storeys high. The north (entrance) front has three windows on the first floor and two plus one windows on the ground floor. A gable is positioned off-centre to the left, and a gabled porch is off-centre to the right. The windows are sash windows with glazing bars, with a label moulding above the left-hand window. A central, four-centred arched doorway features a twelve-panel studded door and studded glazing bars with a segmental light above. A panel above the door displays the datestone "G.H." over "1845". Kneelers are present on the gable and verge ends. The south front has three two-storey bay windows, reputedly designed by Dobson of Newcastle, featuring four-, five- and four-light mullioned casement windows with transoms on the ground floor, and parapets above. A glazed door has a label mould. The east front has three gables with finials. Label moulds are present on the windows of the left-hand gable. A six-light two-storey bay is located in the centre gable, and a four-light oriel, with minimal crenellation, is on the right-hand gable. Inside, there are at least two fine fireplaces, including a Gothic design with blind tracery reveals in the hall and a Tudor arched fireplace in the central east room on the ground floor.
