C16 and C18. There was a mansion here said by Hasted in his History and
Topographical Survey of Kent (1778-1799) to have been bigger than Franks, but
most of it was pulled down in 1703 following storm damage. The south front of the
present building is half-E shaped. The centre portion is the oldest part,
probably C17, refaced in the C18 when the south-east wing was added. Both these
portions are of painted brick with a hipped tiled roof. Two storeys, 4 windows.
The east wall is of brick in English Bond. The central portion has casement
windows with small square leaded panes, the south-east wing sash windows with
glazing bars intact. The south-west wing is a C19 addition of 2 windows faced
with roughcast. The interior contains C16 panelling, a wooden arched doorcase
with decorated spandrels, and early C16 stone fireplace with oak leaf spandrels
some early C16 stained glass and 2 priests holes.
