Description
Wingham House is an early 19th-century house located on the north side of Canterbury Road in Wingham. It is constructed of painted brick with a slate roof and stands two storeys high on a plinth, featuring a plat band and a hipped roof. The house has two stacks on the left and one on the right. The windows are arranged regularly, with three glazing bar sashes that have cambered heads on the first floor, and two tripartite glazing bar sashes on the ground floor, along with a central blocked segmentally headed opening. The entrance door, located on the right return, consists of six raised and fielded panels and is topped with a cornice supported by Doric pilasters. This house was built on the site of the mansion house of the Palmer family, a notable family in Kent, and also on the site of the house of the provosts of Wingham College.
