Description

Worten House is a building dating from the late 17th century to the early 18th century, with a 19th-century wing. It stands two storeys tall, with the north-west part constructed of Kentish ragstone featuring galleting, while the south-east part is made of red brick, all resting on a ragstone plinth. The roof is tiled and half-hipped on one side, and there are two gabled dormers. The ground floor has three altered casements with cambered tops. A 19th-century brick porch features a curved gable and hood moulding.
