Description
These former farm buildings represent the only surviving elements of Hothfield Place, a house reconstructed between 1778 and 1780 by James Wyatt for Sackville Tufton, Eighth Earl of Thanet, and demolished in 1954. The buildings are likely also by Wyatt. They are dated to the late 18th century.
The complex includes an L-shaped building at the west end, currently used as stables. It is constructed of red brick with a modillion eaves cornice and a hipped tiled roof. The facade features six round-headed doorways, each with a semi-circular fanlight. Adjacent to this is an octagonal brick dovecote, now used as a feed box, with a lantern at the apex of its roof. Further east are two smaller rectangular brick buildings, functioning as stables, each with two round-headed doorways and one round-headed window. The name "The Stables" is a modern designation and does not reflect the original functions of these buildings, as the original stables were demolished.
