Description

Hawksfold is a house, now divided into six flats, built in 1878-1879 and designed by Anthony Salvin for his own residence. Constructed late in his life, the building reflects more of the style of Norman Shaw than any style typically associated with Salvin. The south front is L-shaped, featuring a stone ground floor and tile-hung upper levels, with four gables and a tiled roof. It has casement windows and consists of two storeys plus an attic in the gables, with a total of five windows. The north or entrance front includes a half-hipped projection at the west end, a central gable that is partly jettied on a heavy wooden pillar bearing Salvin's initials, and to the east, there is a five-sided stone projection. This front has six windows.
