It appears that the Star was delicensed around the turn of the 20th century and turned into a farm, Star House, by 1925. Known as Star Farm in 1949 and currently Starr House. The old outbuildings were demolished and the Starr Garage built, but this has now been closed.
With thanks to Patrick M. Meads, the owner in October 2000, who's father bought the premises in 1949.
