GV II
House, used as inn and school during C19 and now Christian holiday centre. Early and mid C19 with later C19 additions. Roughcast with slate roof. EXTERIOR: the south 2-window range, adjoining Mews Cottage (qv), appears to be the earliest part and is of 2 storeys plus attic. On the ground floor there are timber canted bay windows which have casements with glazing bars. The upper floors have glazing bar sashes in narrow painted surrounds with projecting sills. The attic windows are partly within gabled dormers. In the centre is a blocked doorway with round-arched head now containing a window. Chimneys to left and right. To the right a gable wall projects forwards and is blank except for a wide early C20 timber canted bay window on the ground floor. The verges project on brackets and there is a chimney, with limestone cap, at the apex. The east 2-window range has 2 similar gables. The windows are glazing bar sashes. Ground floor largely covered by a mid C20 flat-roofed extension which projects forwards and has casements with glazing bars. Two further gables to the right are in a style similar to the main building, but appear to be later additions. The right-hand one has French doors on the ground floor. Below the left-hand gable are 2 bays, with French doors on the ground floor in the right-hand bay. INTERIOR: not fully inspected, but said to contain no features of architectural interest. HISTORY: on the 1st edition of the Six Inch Ordnance Survey map, surveyed in the late 1840s, the building is marked as the Kents Bank Inn.
