Description


TQ 64 SE BRENCHLEY CROOKE ROAD, CASTLE HILL

6/62 Castle Hill Cottages

GV II

House, formerly 3 cottages. Probably early C19 with late C20 renovation and
alterations. Ground floor plastered; first floor tile-hung; slate roof; brick
stacks.

Plan: South facing range slightly set back from the road. Originally 3 2-
cell cottages of similar plan, the outer ones each with a larger outer room,
heated from an end stack with a service room to the rear, the entrance into an
unheated room with the stair rising in front of the front door. The principal
room of the centre cottage was heated by an axial stack to left of centre
(shaft dismantled). The internal plan has been very altered in the course of
restoration and conversion. A rear right outshut was added in the circa
1950s, brick and tile-hung, with roof wells for the original windows in the
rear elevation.

Exterior: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 6-window front. The plank and cover strip
front doors to the 2 left hand cottages are probably C20 but in original
openings. The right hand door has been converted to a window giving 7 windows
on the ground floor. Irregularly-spaced early C19 2-light small-pane
casements.

Interior: The original stair to the left hand (west) cottage survives. The
internal partitions have been altered.

Roof: Not inspected.
