Building record 1518100002 - 8 Rosebery Mews (Dairy Farm), Cheddington Road

Residential conversion of small detached former farm building adjacent Mentmore Estate’s Dairy Farm
courtyard. Yellow brick gable to South with blue brick surrounds to doors: elsewhere red brick under blue slate roof. Single central stack. Inventive arrangement of long run of casement windows over wall with pilasters to right of front door. Post 1898.
Significance: Farmstead building 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. 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).
