Description
High House is an 18th-century building located at No. 5 The Street in Hothfield. It has two storeys and attics, constructed of red brick with a tiled roof featuring a moulded wooden eaves cornice. The building has three casement windows. Along the eaves cornice, there is a painted inscription that reads:
"Dr Coetlogon's Genuine True and Original Tincture and other Medicines by the King's Patents. All sorts of Grocery, Drapery and Haberdashers. Goods Optical, Philosophical and Mathematical Instruments of a New Construction Spectacles of a New Invention. Ale Brown Amber Malts and Hops Wholesale and Retale 1762."
The entrance is accessed by five steps and features a six-panel door with a flat hood above, which also bears an inscription:
"Drugs, Oyls, Glass and Earthen Wares 1762."
Dr. Coetlogon was a Huguenot who sold the rights to his tincture to Mr. Haffenden of Bethersden, who then marketed it as "Haffenden's Tincture," a name that became well-known in the late 18th century.
