Nos. 21 and 22 <strong>Holdenhurst</strong> <strong>Village</strong><br />
7.22 The predominant construction material<br />
in the <strong>Conservation</strong> <strong>Area</strong> is brick. From<br />
the ancient hand made bricks of No.<br />
17 <strong>Holdenhurst</strong> <strong>Village</strong> to the recent<br />
brick buildings of the Manor Farm<br />
development. Whilst a few properties<br />
are rendered or painted, exposed brick<br />
is characteristic of the village. Apart<br />
from the yellow buff brick of Bramble<br />
Cottage, Oak Tree Cottage, The Three<br />
Elms, The River Barn and The Old Dairy,<br />
the predominant brickwork colour is<br />
red.<br />
7.23 The brickwork bond across the<br />
<strong>Conservation</strong> <strong>Area</strong> varies, however<br />
there are similarities relating to<br />
the age and type of building. The<br />
predominant bond is Stretcher Bond<br />
and is principally visible on the<br />
nineteenth and twentieth century<br />
dwellings, although the barns and the<br />
oldest dwelling utilise Flemish, Header,<br />
English and English Garden Wall Bond.<br />
Contrasting brickwork of Header Bond of<br />
The New House, no 16 <strong>Holdenhurst</strong> <strong>Village</strong><br />
(left) and the English Bond of No. 17 (right)<br />
7.24 A number of properties utilise simple<br />
brick dressings as a decorative feature.<br />
The most common is the use of brick<br />
headers above the windows, this is<br />
illustrated by both agricultural and<br />
domestic buildings. Brick headers are<br />
also featured on dwellings across the<br />
age range and can be seen at both<br />
The New House, No. 16 <strong>Holdenhurst</strong><br />
<strong>Village</strong> of the 1700s and Nos. 24 and 25<br />
<strong>Holdenhurst</strong> <strong>Village</strong> of the 1940s.<br />
7.25 Decorative gabled kneelers are<br />
characteristic of a handful of<br />
properties, principally twentieth<br />
century dwellings rather than historic<br />
buildings. Brick gabled kneelers can<br />
be seen at The New House and at<br />
Springfield and Stockwell Cottage, the<br />
Three Elms and No. 18 <strong>Holdenhurst</strong><br />
<strong>Village</strong>. Decorative stone gabled<br />
kneelers can be seen at St John’s Church.<br />
Windows<br />
7.26 The characteristic window framing<br />
material in the <strong>Conservation</strong> <strong>Area</strong> is<br />
timber. There is some variation in<br />
window design across the different ages<br />
and types of properties although the<br />
predominant design is outward opening<br />
casements with plain glazing or leaded<br />
lights. Windows are a key characteristic<br />
of a building and where original<br />
windows are lost this can detract from<br />
the building’s appearance.<br />
7.27 Historically glass was an expensive<br />
material and large panes were costly<br />
and difficult to produce. The oldest<br />
properties in the <strong>Conservation</strong> <strong>Area</strong><br />
have windows with small panes of<br />
glass set within leaded divisions<br />
(leaded lights). This is illustrated by<br />
the (outward opening) casements at<br />
Magdalen Cottage (No.1 <strong>Holdenhurst</strong><br />
<strong>Village</strong>), No. 17 <strong>Holdenhurst</strong> <strong>Village</strong>),<br />
The New House (No. 16 <strong>Holdenhurst</strong><br />
<strong>Village</strong>) and The Old Forge (No. 14<br />
<strong>Holdenhurst</strong> <strong>Village</strong>).<br />
