Description
Hever Castle Stud Farm is a house that was originally built as cow byres and a water tower around 1904 by Frank Loughborough Pearson. It is part of the model farm complex associated with Hever Castle. The building features a timber frame with plastered infill and has a steeply pitched tiled roof with gables and two diagonally set brick chimneystacks. It is one storey high with attics.
The central porch is half-hipped and supported by piers, with three-light mullioned windows above. A quatrefoil moulded vertical beam is present in the design. To the right of the porch, there are two gabled dormers, each with three-light mullioned windows. The ground floor has four three-light mullioned windows. To the left of the porch, there is a section with eclectic ground floor framing that includes quatrefoils, one gabled dormer with a three-light window, and a half-hipped dormer. The ground floor in this section features one five-light and one four-light mullioned window. The gable to the left has a recessed doorcase with a plank door.
At the rear of the building, there is an elaborate water tower that includes an archway, a second stage with square framing, and a top stage featuring an intricate quatrefoil design. This tower has a hipped tiled roof topped with a weathervane that bears the letter A, representing Astor.
