Hazelwood

Hazelwood is a two-storey house built around 1830 in the style of William Robertson. It is situated against a slope, featuring a symmetrical single-storey entrance front on the east side that appears as a raised ground floor, and a symmetrical two-storey garden elevation on the south side. The exterior is harled with extensive polished sandstone dressings and margins.

The wide three-bay east front includes a centrally recessed porch with a pedimented and paired pilaster frontispiece. It has a panelled door flanked by narrow sidelights, with aproned windows on either side and wide giant angle pilasters, all resting on a deep base course.

The south garden front is two-storey and wide, showcasing full-height ashlar canted windows that are connected at the raised ground floor by a verandah supported by slender pilasters. There is a later flat-roofed projecting single-storey library wing that masks the west front, which has a barely recessed centre bay. The library features a circa 1960 three-light bow window on its west return gable.

The rear of the property has various additions and alterations. The house has horizontal and multi-pane glazing, symmetrical coped ridge stacks, and a shallow piended local slate roof with projecting soffited eaves.

Inside, the detailing is restrained, with a top-lit entrance hall. The sitting and drawing rooms on the south side of the raised ground floor intercommunicate. The sitting room features a carved wooden chimneypiece with marble slips, while a similar (later insertion) chimneypiece is found in the larger drawing room. The library contains a later wooden chimneypiece, reportedly from Glasgow.
