Statement of Significance
Asset type
Chilterns style barn conversionAge
Uncertain, but moved and re-erected here in 1950s, when owners bought Hall Place, giving the building a farmyard setting. This property occupies the site of a building that can be identified on the 1753 Godolphin Estate map (see https://ourlivingvillage.org/origins.html) which is adjacent and orthogonal to the extant 16th century Grade II listed (Listing Id 1332493) Hall Place. The barn from which this dwelling was created, however, is believed to have been salvaged from the grounds of the farm at Holtspur on the A40 that became the Kings Head pub (then the Harvester, and now Miller & Carter) and was re-erected and converted to a residential dwelling here in the 195/60s. Possibly 18th Century. Converted to two houses in 1982. Source Case officer Report Consultation section CH/2007/0300/FAArchitectural and Artistic Interest
