Ulcombe Place

Ulcombe Place is a collegiate building that has been converted into a house. The main section dates from the 15th century or earlier, with the college originally founded in the 13th century. There have been alterations and additions made in the early to mid-18th century and the 19th century. The main range is constructed of stone, while the rear additions are made of red brick with occasional grey headers in Flemish bond. The roofs are covered with plain tiles.

The building has a rectangular stone range that is positioned at right angles to the road, with short rear additions. The main range features two storeys and attics, with a facade that extends into a stone parapet. This parapet wraps around the gable ends and rises in brick to the top of a tall, broad, shallow, full-height brick projection at the centre of each gable end, which is topped by a smaller rectangular brick panel. There is a brick stack on the left gable end, with one rear stack on the left and another on the right.

The front of the building has five dormers with moulded triangular pediments, three of which are from the 18th century and two from the 20th century. The facade has a regular arrangement of five windows, featuring recessed 8-pane glazing-bar sashes with Venetian shutters. The ground floor has five French windows that are adorned with decorative blind boxes. There is a verandah supported by slender Doric columns, which has a pendentive fringe. Towards the right end of the ground floor, there is part of a blocked 2-centred arched opening, likely a former doorway.

To the right, there is a short rear wing from the early 18th century, which has two storeys on a stone plinth, a wooden modillion eaves cornice, and a hipped roof. This wing features irregular fenestration with three tall glazing-bar sashes and has rubbed brick voussoirs and keystones above the ground-floor windows. The door, which is made up of six fielded panels, is located towards the main range and has a semi-circular fanlight, rusticated Doric pilasters, and a plain corniced frieze. There are two additional structures to the centre and left of the main range, dating from the 18th and early 19th centuries.

Inside, there is a small blocked 4-centred arched hollow-chamfered doorway on the rear first-floor wall of the main range, along with an 18th-century staircase, panelling, and cornices.
