Millbank

Millbank is a farmhouse located partly in Ruckinge Civil Parish, Ashford District Council. The building features an early 19th century facade that covers an earlier timber-framed structure. The front is constructed of brick in Flemish bond, while the rear wings are made of painted brick on the ground floor and tile-hung above. The right wing reveals exposed studding within the brickwork at the rear. The roof is covered with plain tiles and the main range has two adjoining rear wings, likely built at different times. The farmhouse is two storeys high with a coped parapet. The roof is hipped to the left of the main range and at the rear of the left wing, while the right wing has a half-hipped roof at the rear. There is a rear stack to the left and a multiple brick ridge stack at the right gable end. The windows have irregular spacing, featuring three recessed glazing bar sashes with splayed painted brick voussoirs. The ground-floor windows include keystones. A half-glazed door is positioned towards the centre, recessed within a semi-circular architrave that has small brick imposts and a keystone. On the east (right) gable, there is an inscription that reads: "The boundary of Newchurch Parish confirmed at the Sessions at Canterbury on the 11th day of July 1820." The interior has not been inspected.
