II*

House with private chapel. Late C14 chapel, reroofed c1520 linked to house to the north east of which are 2 late C15 or early C16 finely decorated solar bays,though its hall and service bays were completely rebuilt in the C17 and linked to the chapel by a contemporary or slightly later wing. Chapel of Kentish ragstone, rubble with tiled roof. House timberframed with brick infill, some tile hanging to 1st floor and tiled roof with 3 tall brick chimneystacks. Chapel west front has double cinquefoil window and blocked 4-centred arch. Ground floor has cambered entrance. South front has ogee opening with window of 3 cinquefoil-headed lights. Hagioscope. East window traceried with triple cinquefoil. North front has similar window. Main or north west front of house has gable to right hand side which is the end of the c1500 solar wing. 1st floor tile hung with 4 C19 casements. Ground floor is partly underbuilt and is supported on 3 carved brackets. Projecting doorcase with 6 panelled door and rectangular fanlight. Exposed mainly C17 frame to ground floor. Left side return has hipped roof with end external chimneystack and catslide roof. Link block to chapel has C17 box frame exposed with plaster infill. This wing terminates in a tile-hung gable. Right side of solar wing tile hung with 2 3-light windows. Rear of solar wing has hipped roof, one 3-light casement to 1st floor and plank doorcase in moulded architraves to ground floor. Chapel has barrel-vaulted undercroft and c1520 roof of 4 heavily moulded arch braces rising from corbels. The principal feature of the house is the very elaborate 2-bay solar wing built between 1480 and 1520 with one room on each floor. 1st floor chamber was jettied to the north and has a very elaborate crown post moulded in 4 sections with roll moulding supported on a roll-moulded and crenellated tie beam. The rafter couples are linked by collars which are braced with soulaces. Every fifth rafter couple has a carved cross. Ground floor of solar wing has roll moulded beams of c1500 and C17 brick fireplace with wooden bressummer. In the late C16 or early C17 the medieval open hall was replaced by the present hall range of continuous jetty form which originally had a lobby entry. The roof is of side purlins type and the ground floor ceiling of the hall contains the reused side purlins from the medieval solar room together with contemporary chamfered spine beam with lambs tongue stops. Large open fireplace with wooden bressummer. North western ground floor room has dragon beam. Some C19 iron firegrates and 2 panelled doors. Horne's Place was the seat of the Horne family since 1276 when Edward I gave land to Matthew de Horne. During Wat Tyler's rebellion of 1381 the property was entered and £10 worth of goods stolen, but this must relate to an earlier building on the site.
