Hazeleigh Hall (EHER 7849)

A two-storied timber-framed and plastered house with attics, tiled roofs. It was built in around 1570, and the floor structure suggests an earlier, narrower building was incorporated into the structure, possibly the crosswing of a hall house which once extended to the rear.

Two-storied timber-framed and plastered house with attics, tiled roofs. Main block probably built in the 16th century. There are 17th century and later additions at the back. Inside, some early 17th century panelling and a door with moulded battens. Five bay roof with curved wind braces. <1> January 1953. Grade II listed. A timber framed house built in around 1570, incorporating part of an earlier house, and altered in the 18th century and in around 1900. It is plastered with some exposed framing. The roof is covered with red clay tiles (hand-made at front). The 16th century rear wing is at the left end and there is an 18th century single-storey weatherboarded extension beyond. There are two 18th century rear wings to the right of the extension, forming a continuous group across the rear. The right bay has two sets of jowled posts, one inside the other, and a floor structure confirming that an earlier, narrower building has been incorporated in the present structure - probably the crosswing of a hall house which once extended to the rear. The windows, door, diagonal shafts of the chimneys, and the bargeboards are from around 1900. There are original and earlier timbers in the attic and oak panelling from around 1600 on the ground floor. On first floor is painted panelling of an uncertain date. The floor of the left rear wing was rebuilt in the 18th century. Manor house. <2> See photo <3>. Domesday Manor. <4>
