50, Oakhill Road

This is a late Arts and Crafts style lodge, later adapted as a house, designed in 1937 by the firm of Baillie Scott and Beresford for E A Mitchell Esq. It originally served as the lodge to a larger house called Tylers on Kippington Road, also designed by the same architectural firm. Later 20th-century extensions to the rear are not of architectural significance.

The building is of rendered brickwork with a tiled roof and a central brick chimney stack. It is asymmetrical in design, with two storeys. The windows are mainly wooden casements with six panes, with a mullioned window featuring leaded lights to the porch.

The east elevation, facing the road, has a central gable with plain kneelers. A four-light casement sits above a two-light casement on the ground floor. The north front, facing the drive to Tylers, features a catslide roof broken by a narrow gabled stair turret with kneelers and a first-floor casement and decorative metal footscraper. To the left of the turret is a penticed porch with a tiled gable, a partially chamfered door surround, a plank door with iron hinges, and a two-light mullioned window with leaded lights. A later 20th-century flat hood covers the entrance. A dormer window illuminates the landing, and a ground floor window serves the service area. The south elevation has a projecting gable containing a four-light window to the first floor and a three-light window and doorcase with a plank door below, alongside a three-light window on the ground floor. The west elevation has a gable with a two-light casement to the first floor, but the ground floor has been largely obscured by a large, later 20th-century brick, flat-roofed extension.

Inside, the living room has a large open fireplace with a brick surround, a wooden bressumer, a shelf, and a central beam. The parlour has a similar beam and an angled fireplace. A dogleg half-winder staircase has wooden supports and plaster infill to the balustrading.

Original plans from September 1937 are held by Sevenoaks Urban District Council (reference 188/37).
