Hadzor Hall

Hadzor Hall is a country house situated within a landscaped park, and now used partly as company headquarters. It was originally built around 1779 and significantly refaced and extended in 1827 by Matthew Habershon, with further alterations and additions made in the mid-20th century. The house is constructed from stucco, with hipped slate roofs. It has three storeys and a cellar, with a sill band to the ground and first floors, and a dentilled eaves cornice beneath a blocking course. The architectural style is Greek Revival.

The north-west entrance elevation has seven bays, with the central three bays projecting slightly and featuring a pediment. All windows have moulded architraves, and the lower two floors have moulded cornices above the windows. The ground-floor windows are tall 4-pane sashes, the first floor has 12-pane sashes, and the second floor features 2-light casements. A tetrastyle Greek Doric portico projects from the central three bays, and within this, the central entrance has a moulded architrave and cornice, a 6-panelled door, a transom light, and narrow side lights. A two-storey addition to the left side elevation features a first-floor sill band, moulded eaves cornice, a first-floor 12-pane sash window, and a pair of glazed double doors on the ground floor.

The south-west garden elevation has five bays, with the central three projecting and incorporating Ionic pilasters dividing the bays of the upper two floors, topped by an entablature and blocking course. Windows have moulded architraves, and the outer ground-floor and first-floor windows have moulded cornices. The outer ground-floor windows are tall 15-pane sashes, while the central ground-and first-floor windows are 12-pane sashes. Second-floor windows are single-hung sashes with 6 panes in the outer bays and 9 panes in the central part. The central entrance has a moulded architrave and glazed double doors.

Later 19th-century additions include a tall, domed bell tower at the rear, with a square plan, clasping pilasters, four storeys, and a belfry. The bell tower has semi-circular headed windows in each elevation with impost bands, a moulded cornice, urn finials surmounting the pilasters, and a dome with a raised central section supporting a dragon weather vane. The south-east elevation features a 12-pane sash window on the second floor and a single-hung 6-pane sash on the third floor, accompanied by a cast iron balcony.

The interior includes an open-well staircase with an ornate cast iron balustrade. The main ground floor rooms are notable for their elaborate moulded ceilings. The house was formerly the seat of the Galton family. It is an imposing building with interesting early 19th-century features.
