Holdenhurst Village Conservation Area Appraisal - Bournemouth ...

7.28 An exception to the casement windows
across the Conservation Area are the
few examples of nineteenth century
sash windows. These utilise slender
glazing bars to divide the panes of glass
and incorporate decorative horns and
this can be seen at The Old Vicarage,
School House and Rose Cottage. The
Three Elms of the 1960s also benefits
from attractive timber framed sash
windows with slender glazing bars.
7.29 Particularly interesting windows can
be seen at St John’s Church. The
decorative stained glass windows
depict agricultural scenes, which add
to the rural feel of the Conservation
Area.
Entrances and Porches
7.30 Entrances are important architectural
features of the properties within
Holdenhurst Village. The majority of
dwellings in the Conservation Area
benefit from some sort of entrance
porch. Tiled or slated door canopies in
particular are a characteristic feature
and serve to emphasise the importance
of the home entrance as a key feature
of the dwellings. There are many
examples within the Conservation Area
such as the projecting canopies at No.
17 Holdenhurst Village (below), The
New House (No. 16), Holly Hurst (No.
20), Elm Cottages and The Three Elms.
7.31 Doorway treatments within the
Conservation Area include fully
enclosed porches (The Old Billiard
Room, The Old School, Nos. 24 and
25 Holdenhurst Village and The Coach
House), open sided porches with timber
framing or timber brackets (The Old
Forge, Manor Farm Barn, The River
Barn, Hockeys Barn, Bramleys, The
Goslings), as well as recessed entrances
(the Village Hall, No.18 Holdenhurst
Village).
Doors
7.32 Painted timber panelled or tongue and
groove front doors are characteristic
of the Conservation Area. Doors are
generally solid, although there are
a few examples of glazing within
the door (very small panes to older
properties).
Ironmongery
7.33 Some of the doors benefit from
decorative hinges, letter boxes or door
knockers. One of the most attractive
examples of ironmongery in the
Conservation Area can be seen at The
Old Billiard Room (below).
