Statement of Interest

Listed as part of the development by the Lady Flora Hastings Trust at 1-15 Barnshot Road, intended for the widows of British and Indian Officers, at the beneficence of the Marchioness of Bute. 3 pairs of semi-detached houses, each with 2 public rooms and 3 bedrooms, were built for #7000. Lady Flora (1806-39) was a Lady-in-waiting to Queen Victoria, and died of cancer when she was fairly young. These houses currently contain two flats each; one on each floor.
