Hazeley Heath Cottage

Hazeley Heath Cottage is a late medieval house dating from the 16th century, which was improved and extended in 1898 by Ernest Newton for his own use. The original structure features a timber frame consisting of two bays, with a gabled cross wing at the north end and a massive chimney stack attached to the south end. Newton's renovations added one bay and a larger cross wing to the south end, along with a small gabled extension on the middle of the west side. The central part of the cottage has one storey with an attic at the front (east) and two storeys at the rear, while both wings are two storeys high.

The roof is covered in red tiles and features two gabled dormers at eaves level, along with several chimneys. The north wing displays exposed timber framing, primarily fitted with red brickwork, although part of the north front is covered with rendering. The central section is finished in painted brickwork. The newer sections are finished in wet rough-cast (harling) with decorative pargetting, which includes a circular tree design with initials representing the Newton family tree, and features cambered openings. The windows are casements with square-leaded lights.

There are two doorways at the front and one at the side, each with simple solid frames, segmental hoods on trellises, and half-glazed doors. Inside, the entrance hall contains a fireplace with simple mouldings and a Dutch tiled interior, along with a delicately designed staircase. Two rooms have Georgian fireplaces, one of which is made of marble with carving. A plaque on the front of the house features a moulded surround with carved crossed oak leaves above the initials E N and the date 1898, along with a lead fire insurance sign.
