This digital archive contains images and a report from a historic building survey of Brentry House, Ampfield, Hampshire as a condition of planning consent for the demolition of the existing property and construction of a new dwelling on the site. Allen Archaeology Limited was commissioned by McLean Quinlan Architects to undertake such work in 2016.
Brentry House is located within the Grade II Registered Park and Garden of Sir Harold Hillier Gardens and Arboretum, and was built between 1933-46. The house, garage and bungalow were all constructed around 1940. They are all constructed in the same style, and externally present as modernist buildings with very few alterations beyond a couple of bricked up windows and one area of reroofing. Internally the main building and the bungalow have been converted for use as student accommodation, probably in the late 20th century and as such there are no surviving internal features of historical interest. The garage appears to have largely remained undisturbed internally, with just one blocked doorway to the rear.
