Denham Conservation Area
Fayrstede, now one house,
was at one time divided into
four.
Interspersed between the cottages are larger buildings. Again reliable dating
is difficult without survey but some, such as the Swan, are timber-framed ,
probably 17 th century, but later re-fronted in brick resulting in an 18 th century
appearance. Others, such as the adjoining Green Man, appear to be of brick
construction, although internal inspection might reveal timber-framing. Such
buildings, with their two full height storeys leading to higher eaves and
ridges, are more dominant in the street scene.
Three buildings in Village Road
are particularly significant for
their scale and quality. They
are late 17 th /early 18 th century
buildings which probably
replaced earlier vernacular
buildings. The tallest building
in the finely grained historic
core is Da Remo, with three
storeys, plus an attic and cellar
(photographed in chapter 5).
Its scale also appears
exaggerated by comparison
with its smaller neighbours.
The others are the Falcon (photographed above), a landmark on the bend
overlooking the Village Green and Wrango a gentleman’s residence set back
on a slight bend in the road and in
a spacious plot.

The location of all three increases
their impact on the character of
the conservation area.
