Brewery Farm House was built in 1773. The Malt House (the
extension to the farm house) was built by Robert Litten the elder in the eighteenth
century and was named the Star Brewery; beer was brewed at the Brewery until
1896, when the company went into liquidation. The Star Brewery with its 26 licensed
houses (of which the New Inn in Swindon Road was one), 6 cottages and land were
auctioned off at the Goddard Arms on 29 October 1896. The Star Brewery ceased
to exist from this date. Arkell’s Brewery bought the premises of the former
Star Brewery.
In 1926 Arkells sold Brewery Farm to Edward John Cook. The
farm was a working (Milk) Farm until after the 2nd World War. In 1980 the Farm
House was identified as a Building of Special Architectural or Historic Interest
ie. became a Grade II listed building (One of 5 in Lower Stratton St Margaret)
The Farm House remained in the Cook Family until December 2006 when it was bought
by Colin and Anne.
The home of the former Star Brewery has now been converted
to a Bed and Breakfast; the main Farm House is Private family accommodation
with the former Malt House converted to Bed and Breakfast with all rooms en-suite.
