Court Lodge

Court Lodge is a house that dates back to the 16th century or earlier, with later cladding from the 18th to 20th centuries. It features a timber frame covered with ragstone, red brick, and tile hanging, topped by a plain tiled roof. Originally designed as a hall house, the current entrance front was once the back elevation. The main block has four bays and is two storeys high, with a hipped roof and stacks located to the left and centre right in the roof valley. There are two projecting hipped blocks, one with two bays on the left and the other with one bay on the right. The first floor has four irregular wooden casements, while the ground floor has three, including one in an outshot to the right. A boarded door is located to the centre right within a gabled porch. The rear elevation, which was the original entrance, features irregular 20th-century windows. The interior frame has been reported, and according to Igglesden (Volume 13), this building was a Grange of Christ Church, Canterbury.
