Public house. C18 or earlier, altered and extended early C19 and late C19. Timber framed and weather boarded and part clad with painted brick. Plain tiled roofs. Two parallel ranges with additional wing to east. Two storeys with hipped roof with stacks to rear centre and to right, with two wooden case- ments on first floor and 3 irregularly placed wooden and metal casements on ground floor and central doubled half-glazed doors. Left hand extension of 2 storeys with stack at end right and with metal casement on ground floor, and with single storey extension to left return with casements with picture window over. Rear elevation also 2 storeys, hipped, with wooden casements on first floor and single storey extension on ground floor with casements and boarded door, Interior: clearly shows the two main periods of building, the rear range the older, with exposed brick fireplaces. The building stands far out on the marshes at the confluence of the Faversham and Oare Creeks (Hollowshore) and thus has a landscape value above what might be expected for a relatively modest building; it also still serves the boat repair and mooring activities on Hollowshore it was first built to meet.
