SNN112425 - Hospital Farm Barn, Rushton Road, Rothwell, Northamptonshire: Building Recording

The project successfully recorded the farm complex at Hospital Farm prior to its planned conversion into a dwelling. Based on the survey and analysis of the available historic maps, it seems likely that the earliest buildings on the site may date from the 18th century, and have not been altered dramatically since then, apart from the demolition of a small extension or porch sometime after 1926. It is proposed to convert the former farm complex into a single dwelling which will involve demolition in certain areas, and alterations and major refurbishment elsewhere. Although the proposed development will affect the historic fabric of some of the former farm buildings, this is deemed necessary to enable the building’s sustainable use, and to ensure its survival for many years to come.
