Hazelbarrow Farmhouse And Attached Boundary Wall Incorporating Fragments Of Hazelbarrow Hall

Hazelbarrow Farmhouse and attached boundary wall incorporate fragments of the earlier Hazelbarrow Hall. The farmhouse is primarily of the 18th century, with 19th-century alterations and elements from a late 16th-century house, alongside surviving portions of its garden walling. Constructed from coursed squared coal measures sandstone with quoins, the farmhouse features coped gables with moulded kneelers, Welsh slates and stone slates. The east elevation is two storeys high with a symmetrical three-bay design. It has stacked glazing bar sash windows within stone frames, although the ground floor window to the south has lost its original glazing bars. A central doorway has a moulded door surround with a dripmould and a 19th-century half-glazed door. Inside, a small first-floor room contains plank and muntin panelling and square panelling, while the roof trusses have massive cambered tie beams, which appear to be reused timbers. These panelling and roof trusses may originate from the earlier house.

Attached to the north gable wall, extending 25 metres east, is a section of a former external wall. This wall features two two-light, deeply recessed, chamfered mullioned openings with moulded quoined surrounds. Evidence of earlier blocked openings exists between the windows. A quoined doorway with a chamfered surround and cambered lintel with a shallow four-centred arch is located to the west of the openings. An advanced square tower with a monopitch stone slate roof adjoins the wall at the west end. The tower includes an arched opening at the base of the north wall and a slit window on the west side, suggesting it may have been a garderobe tower.

A garden wall, formerly enclosing the gardens of the 16th-century house, extends 50 metres west and then 50 metres south of the tower. The wall rises from a plain plinth to approximately 2.5 metres high and is coped with coursed masonry laid in courses of diminishing width, creating a stepped appearance to the wall head. A substantial stepped diagonal buttress is located at the corner at the west end, beyond which the wall extends to the south at a reduced level.
