Description

Lower Hazel Manor is a house dating from the mid-17th century, with a block added and windows altered in the 18th century, along with later additions and modifications. The building features rubble construction with a rendered finish and stone dressings, topped by a treble Roman tiled two-span roof with gable stacks that have diagonal chimneys. Some areas also have pantiles and double Roman tiles on the rear.

The front of the house is symmetrical, standing 2½ storeys high with five windows, all of which are sash windows. There are three gables that rise to the ridge height, each featuring a four-pane window and a smaller four-pane window at the apex, topped with ball finials. The central porch has a shell hood and a panelled glass door in a moulded frame. To the right, there is a one-storey lean-to with a four-pane window.

On the northwest elevation, there are two gables with a four-pane window to the left. The southwest elevation has two first-floor sash windows and one ground-floor sash window on the left, along with a single-storey extension that has a hipped roof, a four-pane window, and a door. The rear of the house includes one gable to the left and a central projecting two-storey block; the ground floor on the left has a sash window, while the first floor has two 20th-century windows and two four-pane windows in the gable. The projecting block has sash windows on both the ground and first floors at the rear and to the right.

Inside, the manor features ovolo moulded beams with converging stops, and the front left room has panelling and shutters on the windows.
