A monastic grange which once belonged to St Augustine's Canterbury. The

short stone quoins. Brick window dressings. Casements or sliding sashes.
A curved bay of brown brick containing 2 sash windows and with a tiled roof
over it has been built out over the ground floor. Porch added with 6 panel

quoins. Double lancet on 1st floor. 2 on ground floor. Crypt with 2 bay

beyond the Refectory building, has gables, the North East one C13 with lancet
windows, the centre one largely modern restoration, the South West one C14.
