Description
Laburnum is an 18th-century building located on Station Road in Birchington-on-Sea. It is two storeys high with an attic, constructed of brown brick featuring red brick dressings and quoins. The roof is adorned with shaped Dutch gables at both ends and includes a cambered dormer. The building has four sash windows with intact glazing bars, and the ground floor windows have cambered head linings. The doorcase is notable for its pilasters, an open pediment, panelled reveals, a blocked semi-circular fanlight, and a six-panel moulded door, with the top two panels cut away and glazed. Additionally, there is a sun fire plaque on the building.
