Description

Nos 7, 8 and 9 form a range of buildings on the south-west side of Farringham High Street. No 7 has an 18th-century facade applied to an earlier timber-framed structure. It is two storeys high, with a painted brick ground floor and a plastered upper floor. The original glazing bars have been lost from the windows. A modern shopfront occupies the ground floor. Nos 8 and 9 are entirely 18th-century in appearance, with weatherboarding cladding. They each have casement windows, and the entire range is covered by a tiled roof, with a total of six windows. Modern shopfronts are present.
