Hazel Farmhouse

Hazel Farmhouse is a timber-frame farmhouse, largely rebuilt in the 18th century, with 17th-century origins. It has been altered subsequently. The main structure sits on a rubble plinth and is mostly rebuilt in red brick, clad with timber framing, and has a plain tiled roof with overhanging eaves. A brick stack is positioned off-centre. The house has two storeys, a cellar, and garrets. To the left, there are three windows; the first floor has a mix of glazing bar sashes, including one tripartite window and one 3-light window, all with flat and cambered brick heads. A plain band runs across the facade above. A 20th-century door and porch are centrally located. To the right, the building steps back to reveal a former dairy wing with exposed timber framing and red brick infill, a single storey and attic configuration, and two 20th-century windows and a door. The interior features wide, chamfered beams and exposed timber framing in parts. A ground floor room on the left has an early to mid-18th century chimney piece with a pulvinated frieze, a tall open pediment, and the Elton family arms. A fine dog-leg staircase has a molded handrail, closed string, and turned balusters. The first floor houses two oak-panelled rooms with a palmette-style frieze and panelled doors.
