Description
The enclosing walls to the north and west of Hazelbury Manor, along with the terrace in the west garden, date from the 17th century and have been restored. They are constructed from rubble stone and ashlar. The high rubble stone wall on the north features ashlar ridged coping and battlemented curved towers at both the north-west and north-east corners. The north-west tower includes inner steps leading to a stone seat on a curved balcony supported by carved brackets, which serves as a canopy for a curved seat below. There is also a corbelled stone seat on the outer face of the north wall.
In the center of the north wall, there is a moulded Tudor-arched gateway adorned with strapwork cresting and carved Speke arms. The wall on the east side returns to the rear of the Dower House, while the west side wall steps down at the terrace and features two external buttresses at the south end. The terrace, attached in the west garden, has a rubble stone base and includes eight stone steps in the center, flanked by lengths of ashlar balustrading. This balustrading features turned balusters, panelled piers, a moulded rail, and some stone urns. The terrace consists of eight sections on the left and seven on the right, with a small return at the east end. It was created around 1925-26 by Sir H. Brakspear when the rest of the walls were restored.
