Description
Mid-nineteenth century dairy farm, built about 1850s-1860s and now converted to houses
Converted to residential use from the estate Dairy Farm, c1850s-60s . Red brick with blue slate roof. Windows in warm grey/black finish dependent on property. Central projecting porch to 2 and 3 to front access road. Metal ventilators and plain chimneys on ridge. Raised entrance with timber braces with central timber feature on roof. No 4, 5 & 6 have porches to internal court. No. 6 has timber boarded facades to court above brick plinths built around c/1 columns. 7 has wide low gable end to court.
Significance: Farmstead buildings reflecting the origin as part of the estate dairy farm, altered with
conversion to residential, retains some external characteristics; part of a group of model farms built by
1879 and possibly as early as the 1850s.
Issues: The original uses of the buildings are no longer clear and the internal layout has gone. The
setting has altered with the change of use of the working farm to residential with domestic gardens and
planting. A local note building within the conservation area of Mentmore (B1).
