Abstract: |
Planning consent was granted by Bedford Borough Council for the demolition of existing dwellings and erection of four pairs of semi-detached houses at nos. 41-43 Cause End Road, Wootton. The consent included a condition (no.15) requiring a programme of historic building recording to be undertaken in advance of the demolition works. Albion Archaeology was commissioned by the developer to prepare a building recording mitigation strategy for approval by the Local Planning Authority and to undertake the building recording works, which were done in March 2020. The historic core of the building consisted of a pair of one-and-a-half-storey cottages, both with two rooms on each floor. The overall plan is symmetrical with a central stack between the two cottages serving fireplaces on the ground and first floors. The end rooms in both cottages were slightly shorter and were unheated. The stairs in both cottages occupied the same position in plan, but the access arrangements differed. Number 43 had a straight stair accessed from a small lobby between the living room and kitchen. In no. 41 the stair was accessed from the south-west corner of the living room with a winder section at the foot of the stair. Twentieth-century additions to the building consisted of front porches and a continuous rear lean-to range with a bathroom and a conservatory for each cottage. |
