Building record 1534200000 - Bugle House, 15 The Green

18th or early 19th century, small asymmetrically fronted house. Roughcast render with red clay plain
tile roof. Gable end stack to right hand side, and off-centre stack to left of centre of house. The position of the chimney and the slightly off centre front door indicate that this house may be earlier than its frontage would suggest. 2 storey. Slightly off-centre modern door to ground floor level with classically styled surround and pediment and small, circular window above. Pair of bay-fronted modern windows to either side of door at ground floor level. Pair of modern casement windows to first floor level. The loss of historic windows on this building is regrettable, as is the use of what appears to be a cementitious render on the front façade. The triangular pediment feature above the door is also rather incongruous. Most other buildings in Great Horwood which have door surrounds have small, square ended projecting parapet porches above, rather than decorative pediments. Boundary walls which delineate the boundaries of the front garden are modern, and rather more decorative than neighbouring historic boundary walls. The building is visually prominent and forms part of a group of important historic buildings which surround the green. Its much altered façade may hide much earlier fabric beneath. A local note building within the Conservation Area of Great Horwood (B1).
