Dating
from the 17th century, this Kentish farmhouse has central chimneys and staircase. The
original catslide roof has been removed, probably early
last century, allowing
a more substantial kitchen area with a further chimney
stack and first floor accommodation above. The twin
room, its bathroom and the dining room are therefore 300
or so years old and the double room about 150 years
old.
The extensive
mediaeval common in front of the house was originally
used by the local residents as supplementary summer
grazing. Some residents still use this right. |
