Barnside Cottage Church Cottage White Cottage

Barnside Cottage, Church Cottage, and White Cottage are a row of two houses, now functioning as a single house row, located in Lenham Church Square. The first two houses, Church Cottage and White Cottage, date back to the 15th century. They are timber-framed and weather boarded, with a plain-tile roof. The ground floor of the left end of Church Cottage is pebble dashed. This house features a cross-wing to the left and stands two storeys tall on a flint plinth. The left bay of Church Cottage has an underbuilt jetty, with the main roof extending over it to the front, and a hipped roof. At the rear, the left bay is roofed as a cross-wing, while the main range has two slightly different pitches. There are brick ridge stacks at either end and one on the rear slope of the roof towards the centre. The windows are irregularly arranged, featuring four 19th-century glazing bar sashes, three of which have shutters. There is a small canted ground-floor bay window at the left end of Church Cottage. The entrance to Church Cottage has a ribbed door at the right end of the jettied section, and a panelled door with two top lights is located beneath the stack, to the left of the centre of the main range. The rear has a lean-to made of red brick with occasional grey headers.

White Cottage, the third house, was built in the late 18th or early 19th century. It is constructed of chequered red and grey brick with a plain tiled roof and stands two storeys tall. The roof is hipped to the right and adjoins Church Cottage to the left. There is no stack present. The windows are also arranged irregularly, with two glazing-bar sashes on the ground floor featuring segmental heads. The central entrance has a fielded-panelled door with glazed side lights, set under a broad segmental head, and there is a short rear wing to the right. The interior of the houses has not been inspected.
