Fremlins Offices (Including East Wing And Billiard Room)

Fremlins Offices, which includes the East Wing and Billiard Room, is a notable building located on Court Street in Faversham. The structure features an 18th-century front that is attached to a 16th-century house, preserving the overhang of the first floor on a moulded bressummer. It stands two storeys tall with an attic and has five windows, including three round-headed dormers. The ground floor is finished in ashlar, though it is now rendered, while the first floor is clad in yellow mathematical tiles. A wooden modillion cornice and a brick parapet with coping complete the exterior. The glazing bars remain intact, and the first-floor windows are triple windows. The ground floor has four small bays with projecting cornices beneath the first-floor overhang. The entrance features engaged Ionic columns, an enriched frieze, panelled reveals, a semi-circular fanlight, and a projecting cornice beneath the overhang, leading to a six-panel moulded door with the top two panels cut away and glazed.

The East Wing has an 18th-century core, but its exterior dates from the early to mid-19th century. It is built of red brick in Flemish bond with a slate roof and three brick chimney stacks. This section is three storeys high with four windows, mainly tripartite sashes, and includes a later bay and fire escape. It is suggested that this building may have been part of an earlier brewery before the construction of later 19th-century brewery buildings.

Attached to the north is a billiard room built around 1910. This large, square, one-storey red brick building features four pilasters with stone coping and a round-headed feature above, along with pilasters and a moulded brick cornice. A rainwater head with a floral swag is present, and the front has two sets of four bays. The side elevation includes a brick and slate porch with a cambered door, and there is a chimney stack at the rear with a scroll-work surround. Inside, the billiard room boasts an arched granite fireplace with an oak surround and oak panelling.
