Conservation Area AppraisalGiven the domestic scale and simple vernacular architecture of thebuildings in the Conservation Area, historic joinery (such as sash orcasement windows, doors and door hoods) are often the features thatdefine the appearance of properties. Although some buildings have beenmodernised, the use and overall effect of inappropriate replacementwindows and doors is limited.Candover House from the B3046View down the avenue of tree south-eastof St Nicholas ChurchOther Features of Architectural or HistoricInterestA special feature of both villages is the use of brick, flint and chalk cobin extensive boundary walls. Most notable, given its prominence in thestreetscene or the landscape, is the long, tall brick boundary wall toManor Farm in Brown Candover. This frames the long view east towardsthe church, and the chalk cob walls to the south-east of Moth Farm. Thelow retaining wall separating the churchyard from the sports ground isprominent when viewed across this space, and helps define the change inlevels.There are also several older walls in Chilton Candover, including thegarden walls to Manor Farmhouse and Chilton House. An attractive ironpark fence, now a rare survival in the countryside, surrounds some of theManor farmland north of the main road.10Brown and Chilton Candover
