Gore Farmhouse

Gore Farmhouse is a manor house that has been converted into a farm. It dates from around 1400 and the mid-16th century, with additions from the 18th century. The building is timber framed and tile hung, with a base of painted brick and a plain tile roof. It features a hall and a cross-wing. The entrance front is from the 16th century, consisting of a two-storey wing with a hipped roof, a stack positioned to the centre-right, and a projecting hipped wing to the left that has a catslide roof and a central stack. There are two Gothick traceried casement windows on each floor, along with one Gothick and one ordinary wood casement in the left-hand wing. The entrance includes a central board door with a gabled porch.

Inside, the farmhouse has a hall-house layout with remnants of medieval stonework in the northwest corner, a primitive crown post in the chamber, an unmoulded post that is only braced to the collar purlin, smoke-blackened timbers, and 17th-century inserted floors and stack. The side wing, dating from around 1540, features moulded crown-posts. Historical research indicates that the stones from a 12th-century manor house were sold for repairs to Rochester Castle in the 1390s, at which point the manor became a monastic possession, according to information from the County Archives held by the owner.
