Description
Grove House is an early 19th-century house located on the north side of Lenham Old Ashford Road. It features grey-painted channeled stucco and a slate roof, with a double-depth design and two storeys. The hipped roof has projecting eaves with flat soffits, and there is one rendered ridge stack towards each end.
The front facade has a regular arrangement of five windows, which are glazing-bar sashes. These are alternated with a Giant Order of white-painted Doric pilasters. The outer pilasters create wide panels, while the inner ones support a plain frieze. The capitals of the two inner pilasters serve as imposts for a moulded semi-circular arch that leads up into a large plain triangular gable. On the ground floor, there are four French windows and a central door with six fielded panels.
A verandah wraps around the left side and front of the house, featuring a glazed roof supported by a plain iron trellis with occasional decorative vertical panels. The Giant Order of pilasters continues irregularly along the left side elevation, where three glazing-bar sashes are accompanied by white-painted keystones that are suggested in the plain frieze. There is a low two-storey extension to the right. The interior has not been inspected.
