Rodmersham House

Rodmersham House is a house dating from the early 17th century and early 19th century. It is constructed of yellow stock brick with a slate roof, and features a timber-framed and plastered rear wing with a plain tiled roof. The entrance front has two storeys with overhanging modillion eaves and projecting gabled wings, with two storeys on the left and one storey on the right. There are stacks located at the end left, rear centre, and projecting end right. The windows are regularly arranged, with six glazing bar sashes on the first floor. The left end gable features a window with a semi-circular shell tympanum, while the others have gauged heads. There is a large glazing bar sash in the ground floor of the right end gable, also with a semi-circular shell tympanum. The central entrance has a half-glazed door with a traceried semi-circular fanlight, set within a Doric porch that has a grooved frieze and a modillion cornice hood. To the right, there is a 20th-century wood and glass conservatory. The rear wing is timber-framed and has a continuous jettied lower level, topped by a hipped tiled roof. This house may represent the rebuilding of the manor house recorded during the reign of James I for Sir William Pordage.
