Stewards House And Attached Garden Walls, At Wrotham Park Home Farm

Stewards House and the attached garden walls at Wrotham Park Home Farm is an estate cottage built around 1856 for Lord Enfield, originally known as Garden Cottage. The structure is made of red brick in Flemish bond and features a plain tile roof. The cottage is one and a half storeys tall and consists of two sets of three bays, with a wall that connects to the front left corner and encloses a rectangular garden plot.

Architecturally, the cottage has a chamfered plinth and eaves. The openings are framed with chamfered surrounds, gauged brick arches, and dripmoulds, while the windows are small-paned with wooden mullions. The raised verges are supported by brick kneelers and feature chamfered coping, with gabled finials, most of which have been removed. The tall chimney stacks have cogged cornices.

On the west elevation, which faces the farmyard, there is a full-height, gabled, canted bay on the left side, featuring transomed windows with one light, three lights, and one light on the ground floor, and a three-light window above. On the right side, there is a corbelled chimney. The north elevation, which serves as the entrance, has two bays that are set back from the gabled front range. This area includes a porch with decorative open timber work and a tall hipped roof with a finial, leading to an inner board door. Above, there is a three-light flat-roofed dormer and a three-light window to the left. The east elevation features paired gabled bays with an outshut across the ground floor and two-light windows above, with a chimney rising from the valley.

The garden wall stands approximately one meter high and has rounded coping. It includes a simple iron gate near the cottage and a brick pier at the north-west corner topped with a pyramidal capstone that supports a decorative lamp bracket. There is an inwardly curved bay halfway along the west wall, and a short section of wall projects from the north-east corner of the cottage, ending in a gate pier with a domed capstone. An outbuilding range located behind this section of wall is not of special interest.
