Description

House, originally the stud manager’s house to Manor Farm (now Howell Hill Close). Reduced in size and
appears later as Stud House in association with the former Mentmore Stud to the north. Now with bland
modern front brick extension with ‘M-plan’ gabled form. Gabled side extension with triple garage. Estate railings on road frontage with relatively ornate iron gate on decorative cast iron gate piers accessing a short brick-paved path.
Significance: Stud manager’s house for adjacent Manor Farm former estate stud, survives intact with
later additions. Part of a group of model farms built in the mid-late C19.
Issues: The original house is encased in later extensions. The railings are vulnerable to deterioration and removal. A local note building within the conservation area of Mentmore (B1).
