Hazel Tree Farmhouse

Hazel Tree Farmhouse is a house that was formerly a farmhouse, dating from the late 15th century. It began as a timber-framed open hall-house and was adapted in the late 16th century into a lobby entrance house. The exterior was refronted in brick during the 18th century, and it was converted into cottages in the late 18th or early 19th century, with refenestration occurring in the 20th century.

The exterior features red brick with grey headers on a deep plinth to the left, while to the right, there is a fragment of timber framing with plastered infill. The hipped tiled roof has a central brick stack and the building is one storey with attics, featuring three windows. The attic has 20th-century casements with leaded lights and gabled dormers. The ground floor has 20th-century casements, with the right-hand window including a transom. There is a blocked cellar window on the left side of the basement and an S-shaped iron tie. A brick and weatherboarded extension is present on the right side, and the left side elevation has two 12-pane sash windows. A large 20th-century extension is located at the rear.

Inside, the farmhouse has a moulded crenellated dais beam with a bracket in the centre room, which also features an inserted 16th-century roll-moulded spire beam with lambs tongue stops and early 19th-century beaded floor joists. The kitchen retains original 15th-century ceiling beams. The parlour includes a rough 2-inch chamfered spine beam with lambs tongue stops and a large open fireplace. The first floor has jowled upright posts and a crown post roof with head braces to the collar beam and arched braces. A cupboard at the back of the large inserted chimneystack has a small leaded light internal window. The staircase features early 19th-century stick balusters.
