Hazelbury Manor is an exceptional Grade I listed Manor house, lying within
extensive gardens and 180 acres of pasture and woodland.
The main approach to the house is via a third of a mile long straight drive,
which leads down to a pair of 17th century gate piers with attached Grade II
listed Coach House. The Grade I Manor is constructed of rubble, stone, and
ashlar, and has a courtyard plan based over 21⁄2 storeys.
Access to the house is from the south, with oak doors leading to a reception
hall, which in turn provides access to the 15th century Great hall, with a
large battlemented canted bay and 2 - storey battlemented porch tower and
gallery. To the west of the Great hall, there is a stone passageway with
stairs that lead to the sitting room, family room, and a doorway to the
central court. The rear passageway provides stairs to the first floor. To the
east of the Great hall lies the south facing dining room, with its ornate
fireplace and entrance hall, and a kitchen to the north. A side hall provides
access to an office, utility, larder, and various service rooms, which in turn
leads to the Dower House.
To the north of the kitchen is the kitchen courtyard, with access to the plant
room and boiler room. On the first floor, stairs lead to a beautiful dual
aspect drawing room. A landing subsequently provides access to a guest bedroom
with anti - room and within the courtyard plan, an additional 3 bedrooms, 3
bathrooms, family room, study, and archive room. A side landing to the west
provides access to a further 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and various service
rooms. To the north, a second stairway provides access to the pool house and
swimming pool. On the second floor, the courtyard plan provides access to a
further 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
Immediately to the south of the house is a rectangular walled garden with a
set of entrance piers attached to the Coach House. Central steps lead up to a
balustraded terrace situated along the south front of the Manor. To the east,
beyond the Granary, there is a rectangular enclosure surrounded by a dry - stone
wall that is gently terraced, sloping down to a central level lawn. The lawn
is surrounded by yew hedged garden rooms, including a rose garden, an orchard,
a wide borders garden, a foliage garden, a long rose garden, and a small
parterre garden planted with box and yew called The Chess Set.
The Manor lies in a parkland setting of some 182 acres of organic pastureland
and amenity broadleaf woodland. The land lies predominantly to the south and
west of the Manor, with access gained via the main drive to the south east, or
a secondary drive that approaches from the direction of Box village.
A 17th century courtyard is located off the entrance drive to the south west
of the Manor, providing an extensive range of attractive and traditional stone
barns providing stabling, storage and staff restrooms. The buildings include a
coach house, stables, nursery building, squash court, and, to the rear, a pair
of greenhouses, with a further range of modern steel portal framed livestock
buildings, workshop, and fodder store.
