Building record 1391/2 - Barn associated with Row of Trees Farmhouse, 1 Carr Lane, Chorley

<1> Jay Ashall Partnership Chartered Architects, 2019, Heritage Impact Assessment: Row of Trees House, Knutsford Road, Chorley, R4345 (Client Report). SCH8752.

A heritage impact assessment was produced in 2019 in support of the proposed alterations to 1 Carr Lane, Knutsford Road, Chorley, and their potential impact on the adjacent Grade II listed property 'Row of Trees House' (see 1391/1). From the layout of the site and historical mapping, it is believed that the converted barn which now forms No. 1 Carr Lane originally served as a barn to Row of Trees House (originally a farm). Both buildings appear on the Tithe Map of circa 1841 in a single plot (Plot 2539), although Row of Trees House dates back to 1607.

The assessment concludes that although it is respected that the application site (1 Carr Lane) lies adjacent to a listed building with which it once had a practical link, it is the case that this connection has since been lost following previous development on the site. The link that was once the courtyard between the house and the barn has already been severed and the setting and appreciation of the listed building would not be significantly harmed as a result of the proposals.
