Description
Gardeners’ communal accommodation. 1893, Aspell, adjacent to former glasshouse yard west of
Cheddington road, end on to road and set back. Long, two-storey, brick, tile hung, flanking projecting
central gabled block; similar ornamental Old English style to houses on Green. Converted to residential
units. Design drawings CBS D226_4_6.
Significance: high quality communal accommodation for estate gardeners, a late example but extensive
and highly ornamental. Exterior survives intact but interior altered to residential units.
Issues: Converted to several residential units, in divided ownership. Historic character as communal
residence lost. Individual gardens around building have altered setting. Approach off Cheddington road
damaged by recent house built at corner of former glasshouse yard. A local note building within the conservation area of Mentmore (B19).
