Remains Of Monastic Building, Now Outbuilding

The remains of a monastic building, now serving as an outbuilding, date back to around 1235 and were extended in the 18th century. Constructed from flint with Caen stone dressings, it features a plain tiled roof that has been extended with brick. The main structure is two storeys high, with parapet gables, a stair turret, and arched lights on the east side. There are two large segmentally headed openings on the first floor and a smaller casement with carriage doors to the left on the ground floor. A brick surround garret window is located on the left return. The upper floor retains the remains of a fireplace-back, suggesting that the building was likely a first-floor hall house associated with the monastic grange of St. Augustine's Abbey in Canterbury, rather than a chapel. An additional single-storey range was added to the left in the 18th century, which includes two boarded doors, a wooden casement, and a stack at the end.
