Description
Hazelhurst Cottage and Lilac Cottage are two cottages that were originally a hall-house, later converted into two cottages and a butcher's shop. The building dates from the 16th century, with a front block added in the mid-19th century. It features a timber-framed structure clad in red brick at the rear, while the front block is half-timbered with a red and blue brick chequer pattern at the base and weatherboarding on the first floor. The roofs are plain tiled.
The front block is two storeys high with a hipped roof and two tall brick ridge stacks. The first floor has an irregular arrangement of three windows with glazing bar sashes. The ground floor has an irregular layout, including a 19th-century shop window to the left, a shallow octagonal bay in the centre, and an early 20th-century tiled butcher's shop window on the right, which features decorative tiles with a bull's head. There is a panelled door with a margin-glazed transom light above to the left, and a half-glazed door to the left of centre, both with flat hoods on brackets above. Additionally, there is a half-glazed door set into the shop front on the right.
The rear block is one and a half storeys with a deep catslide roof, featuring a plain tiled roof with a gablet to the left and a half-hipped roof to the right, which includes a half-hipped cross wing and a central gabled dormer. There is a tall brick ridge stack located off-centre to the right.
Inside, there is some evidence of timber-framing on the first floor of the centre, along with a later inserted floor that has chamfered floor beams. The butcher's shop is tiled with decorative landscape patterns and pictures of animals, and it includes a clock set into the wall and a light fitting above, all dating from around 1930.
