Kent County Library

The Kent County Library, located on the north side of The Square in Lenham, is a building that dates from the late 16th century or early 17th century. Originally a house and shop, it now serves as a library. The structure features a timber-framed core with a painted brick ground floor and painted mathematical tiles on the first floor of the front elevation. The left gable is weatherboarded, and the building has a steeply pitched plain tile roof. It stands two storeys high with a garret that has an eaves band and is lit at the end. The windows are regularly arranged, with two casements on the first floor. The ground floor boasts a five-light plate-glass shop window with glazed double doors that are off-centre to the left, topped by a two-light rectangular fanlight. The interior has not been inspected.
