Hothe Court

Hothe Court is a timber-framed building that dates back to the 16th century or earlier, although it was refaced in the 18th century and has undergone significant restoration. The building has a T-shaped layout and features an 18th-century exterior finished with roughcast. It stands two storeys high with a tiled roof and gables on each wing. The front has three sash windows set in stuccoed surrounds, all with intact glazing bars. The doorcase also has a similar surround and includes a rectangular fanlight. To the north, there is a wing that is of lower elevation, constructed from painted brick, which contains two windows and two dormers. The windows in this wing are triple round-headed casements with hood moulding above. Historically, Manor Court was held at this location from the Middle Ages. Sir Bartholomew de Badlesmere, who opposed Edward II, lived here, likely in an earlier structure on the same site, before his execution at Blean.
