Description
Hazlegrove House is a detached house, now functioning as a school, that dates back to the 17th century or earlier but was largely rebuilt by Carew Mildmay in 1730. The building is constructed from Ham stone ashlar and features a hipped Welsh slate roof with brick chimney stacks. It stands three storeys tall with a seven-bay south elevation. The façade includes a plinth, band courses, an eaves cornice, single pilasters at each end, and double pilasters between the second and third bays and the fifth and sixth bays. Hoodmoulds line through with the window heads on the ground floor, where there is a pair of almost fully glazed doors set in an architrave under a moulded hood on console brackets. The first-floor windows have individual pediments and console-bracketed cills, while the second floor features architraves only.
To the west, there is a single-storey brick and tiled extension, along with other extensions to the north. The east elevation is simpler, made with lias ashlar and Ham stone dressings, consisting of two bays followed by three projecting bays. Below are plain sash windows, while the first floor has 12-pane sashes and the second floor has 6-pane sashes, all in plain surrounds with keystones. A low two-storey wing has a plain clay tile roof over stone slate base courses, coped with a gable. This wing features single bays with ovolo moulded mullioned windows under square labels, including a wide two-light window below and a three-light window above, along with a pitched roof dormer in the roof space. The interior has not been seen.
Hazlegrove House was formerly the home of the Mildmay family, who were lords of the manor, and it is now the Junior School of Kings School, Bruton.
