Description
Otteham Court is a 15th-century T-shaped timber-framed building, primarily refaced with red brick, grey headers, and some stone. The original timbering and close-studding are visible on the north wall of the west wing. It features a hipped tiled roof and casement windows across two storeys, with a total of five windows. The east front showcases a gable adorned with cusped bargeboards and an attic window, along with three brick buttresses at the ground floor. The site has historical significance as it was founded around 1180 by Ralph de Dene for Premonstratensian Canons and later became a grange of Bayham Abbey, Kent, which was suppressed in 1526.
