Hawkley Place

Hawkley Place is a house comprising an original vernacular structure with substantial extensions built in 1862 by the architect Teulon. The original section features brick walls in a Flemish bond pattern, incorporating a first-floor band and plinth, with the south-east side rendered. The main section of the house displays brickwork in English bond on the north side, but the key south-west and part north-west elevations are constructed from polygonal Malmstone with Bath stone dressings. The upper portions of these elevations are tile-hung above brick dentilled bands, with a jettied section supported by carved brackets. The tile roof incorporates a half-hip to the older section, but elsewhere features an elaborate arrangement of gables of varying sizes and planes, with some exposed framing. The windows are casements of varied size and form, with some bracketted cills, a large bay above a plastered ogee base, and a large mullion and transom window illuminating the staircase. The entrance is framed by a Bath stone doorframe, designed in a Perpendicular style, with a deep hood-mould and vertical panelling above a four-centred arch.
