Description
Little Chef is a coaching inn that has been converted into a roadside diner. It dates from the 18th century and early 19th century. The building features painted brick and mathematical tiles, topped with a plain tiled roof. It consists of two parallel ranges and stands two storeys tall, with the upper level adorned with mathematical tiles and overhanging eaves. The roof has stacks that project to both the left and right sides.
On the first floor, there are three glazing bar sash windows, while the ground floor has a canted bay window to the left, accompanied by two two-light transomed windows to the right. The central entrance is a half-glazed door with a flat head. To the right, there is a single-storey hipped extension, and a hipped rear wing.
Historically, this location was significant as it housed arrested followers of Sir William Courtenay after the Courtenay riots and the Battle of Bossenden Wood in 1838.
