The  plans for Rastgarth were submitted in May 1928 by Barnard and Carter,  architects of Winchester and Cheltenham, on behalf of Miss Seymour. The  plans show a drawing room, dining room, hall, kitchen, scullery, along  with four bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. (HRO reference  W/c11/2/3018).

​

Rastgarth,  along with Weeke Gore, unlike the other houses on Chilbolton Ave, are  outside the boundary of Winchester City. They are in Weeke Without  parish, part of WRDC.

The  contents of Rastgarth were put up for auction in 1961 and the house was  put up for auction by the executors of Kathleen's estate in 1962. The  house was described as having three main bedrooms and three secondary  bedrooms. (HRO 48M84W/60 & 61).

Rastgarth was demolished and replaced by the Colten development, Queen's Gate, in 2009.
