9.32 The listed dwellings cover a range of<br />
dates, a variety of architectural styles<br />
and encompass a wealth of different<br />
materials. No two listed properties<br />
in <strong>Holdenhurst</strong> are the same. The<br />
differences between buildings<br />
illustrates how the village developed<br />
organically over time as new buildings<br />
were required.<br />
The Old Forge, No. 14 <strong>Holdenhurst</strong> <strong>Village</strong><br />
Holly Hurst, No. 20 <strong>Holdenhurst</strong> <strong>Village</strong><br />
9.33 A number of buildings such as The<br />
Old School have been converted and<br />
adapted to new uses over time. No.<br />
14 <strong>Holdenhurst</strong> <strong>Village</strong> is also a good<br />
example of adaptive reuse, now a<br />
residential dwelling, it once contained<br />
a forge in the adjoining outbuildings.<br />
The property was also at one time the<br />
village post office (closed in 1975).<br />
9.34 The barn to the former Townsend<br />
Cottages was originally listed along<br />
with Townsend Cottages in the 1970s<br />
(see photo on page 47). However,<br />
following a review of the barn in 2012<br />
instigated by English Heritage, they<br />
removed it from the statutory list.<br />
English Heritage noted that only the<br />
walls survive of the original structure<br />
and it had lost the group value with<br />
the cottages (which were destroyed<br />
by fire in the 1990s). English Heritage<br />
did however note that the barn is a<br />
poignant reminder of the rural building<br />
traditions and agricultural history of<br />
the area, and it is of local importance.<br />
