Description

Eyethorne House is a house that underwent remodelling in 1762, originally built around 1740 for Peter Fector, a banker and merchant from Dover. The building features red brick and mathematical tiles, topped with a plain tiled roof. It has a twin span roof with two parallel ranges and stands three storeys high on a plinth, with a parapet above a hipped roof and stacks at both ends. The window bays at the ends are slightly recessed. The second floor has six square wooden casements, while the first floor has six glazing bar sash windows, and the ground floor has five, all featuring gauged heads with painted keystones. There is a moulded panelled door located to the centre right, set in a segmentally headed stone surround with a moulded base.

Inside, the house boasts fielded panelling in both the downstairs and upstairs rooms, along with an original staircase that has dado panelling. The fireplaces are plain marble, as reported. The historian Hasted praises the house, its location, and its builder. At one time, it served as the dower house for Betteshanger Court and was the residence of Nico Llewellyn Davis, who, along with his brothers, inspired and was the dedicatee of Peter Pan.
