Building record 1292603000 - Hughenden House (Brands Cottage)

Associated with Brands House are two Victorian buildings, one the former Lodge, and the other the staff cottages at Hughenden House. Both are very attractive in a late Victorian Vernacular style, utilising local flint work. Neither are shown on the 1841 map but are on the 1883 OS plans, and they are likely to date from the later part of the 19th century. Hughenden House is of a similar date and style to Brands Lodge; originally it was two cottages used by staff on the estate (the gardener had one of the cottages). It is set along a quiet leafy lane, and is somewhat separate from the rest of the conservation area. Again knapped flint plays a prominent role in its exterior decoration. A significant building within the Conservation Area of Four Ashes (B2).
