Walling<br />
contributes to the overall character<br />
and appearance of the <strong>Conservation</strong><br />
<strong>Area</strong>. There are a range of boundary<br />
treatments within <strong>Holdenhurst</strong> and a<br />
notable variation between the eastern<br />
and western parts of the <strong>Conservation</strong><br />
<strong>Area</strong>.<br />
7.35 The original brick walling that remains<br />
as a boundary to some properties to<br />
the western part is generally tall for<br />
a front boundary (approx. 1.8m). This<br />
is because it is either a retaining wall<br />
(as in the case of The Coach House) or<br />
forms a part of old farm buildings (as<br />
at The Old Dairy and The River Barn).<br />
These walls are generally a reddish/<br />
orange brick in a Flemish bond with<br />
brick on end coping and subtle pointing<br />
which blends with the background.<br />
7.36 To the eastern part of the <strong>Conservation</strong><br />
<strong>Area</strong> the original boundary walls are<br />
lower and of an orangy/red brick. The<br />
predominant bond is English Garden<br />
Wall, but there are also examples of<br />
Monk bond (a type of Flemish Bond).<br />
The walls include some form of coping<br />
and the pointing is generally subtle.<br />
7.37 <strong>Holdenhurst</strong> formerly contained a<br />
number of farmsteads (as Figure<br />
5 shows) and part of the old brick<br />
walls to Dales Farm, Brinton’s Farm<br />
and Bank’s Farm are still evident in<br />
places (illustrated in Figure 13). The<br />
