9.15 In the mid 1990s the site now<br />
containing The Old Dairy and The<br />
River Barn on Throop Road (with two<br />
derelict barns) was redeveloped. Prior<br />
to conversion to a dwelling The Old<br />
Dairy was roofless with basically only<br />
the brick shell intact. Today The Old<br />
Dairy has a pitched slate roof and a<br />
large extension to one side. The second<br />
barn at this site (now The River Barn)<br />
with its full height central opening to<br />
the front and rear was perhaps built as<br />
a threshing barn. Both properties relate<br />
to the former agricultural landscape<br />
of <strong>Holdenhurst</strong> and are still legible as<br />
former barns.<br />
Twentieth Century Buildings: 1900-1945<br />
9.17 Elm Cottages, Nos. 1-4 <strong>Holdenhurst</strong><br />
<strong>Village</strong>, date from around 1914 and<br />
feature pebbledash walling, slate roofs,<br />
canopies supported on decorative<br />
brackets, timber doors and casement<br />
windows and front gardens with low<br />
boundary treatment. The cottages<br />
are small scale and sit comfortably<br />
adjacent to the village green. Although<br />
they have lost a chimney stack and<br />
have some modest rear extensions this<br />
has not seriously eroded their historic<br />
form, and their appearance from the<br />
village green is little altered since<br />
built.<br />
The River Barn<br />
9.16 Manor Farm Barn within Manor<br />
Farmyard incorporates two nineteenth<br />
century barns linked by a late<br />
twentieth century structure. Despite<br />
alteration through conversion to a<br />
dwellinghouse, the building is classified<br />
as positive as the former agricultural<br />
buildings are clearly recognisable<br />
through their scale, design and<br />
materials.<br />
Manor Farm Barn<br />
Elm Cottages<br />
9.18 Springfield and Stockwell Cottage<br />
on Throop Road are a pair of semidetached<br />
dwellings dating from the<br />
early 1920s. The properties have a<br />
similar appearance to the ‘Homes for<br />
Heroes’ dwellings on Muscliff Lane in<br />
<strong>Bournemouth</strong>. The dwellings reflect the<br />
vernacular style of architecture with<br />
timber weather boarding to the gables,<br />
stepped corbels in brick to support the<br />
ends of the steep terracotta tiled roofs<br />
and the whitewashed brick walls. Both<br />
properties have unsympathetic PVCu<br />
windows however, this does not detract<br />
from the overall appearance of the<br />
buildings and the cottages still retain<br />
a wealth of original features such as<br />
