The heritage values of the site will be assessed using English Heritage Conservation
principles (2008) guidelines, which state that people “value a place for many reasons
beyond utility or personal association: for its distinctive architecture or landscape, the story
it can tell about its past, its connection with notable people or events, its landform, flora and
fauna, because they find it beautiful or inspiring, or for its role as a focus of a community”. The Garlands Farmhouse building is a grade II listed structure and is as a designated
building considered to be a structure of national importance. The main part of the
farmhouse is a Georgian building in a neo-classical style. The cheeseroom building that
forms the other component of the structure appears to belong to a more traditional phase
of development of at least the early 18th century but possibly before, although there are
indications here of considerable amounts of reworking.There is evidence of a former chimney at the back of the building, which would have been
a lateral chimney, but the stack at some time has been removed. |
