PENTLANDS (NO. 14)

The Building Control Plans for Pentlands were submitted in January 1952 by A T Mc Donald of 16 Hatherley Road, Winchester (HRO W/C11/2/5742). The architect was Aubrey J Harding of Winchester. At the time of submission, the site was referred to as 'Plot 4', being one of eight plots being developed on the south east area of Chilbolton Avenue. The plans were for a four bedroom house with lounge, dining room, kitchen, hall and garage.

Further plans were submitted in October 1960 for a greenhouse which was attached to the right hand side of the house. (HRO W/C11/2/9961) This was also referred to as the conservatory by the family.

​

A T McDonald was originally from Edinburgh. The hills to the south west of Edinburgh are the Pentland Hills - quite probably the source of the name of the house.
