L-shaped building. C17 or earlier timber-framed building refaced in early
C19. Two storeys stuccoed. Tiled roof. Weatherboarded extension to rear.
Irregular fenestration. Some casements, some sashes with glazing bars intact.
Simple doorcase. Some exposed beams to interior. This was the site of one
of the 2 original Saxon settlements in Swanley. It was a minor manor in Norman
times when the land belonged to Ghent Abbey. It is thought that King Stephen
granted it to his supporters William of Ypres who gave the land to Ghent Abbey
and it was held by them between 1135 and 1203.
