Battlemented Courtyard With Towers And Internal Wall

The building is a battlemented courtyard with towers and internal walls, constructed in 1794 by Boncey of Margate for Benjamen Bond Hopkins. It features a large courtyard surrounded by a flint wall approximately 6 feet high, which includes arched rendered recesses. There are brick gate piers located halfway along the west wall. The north wall is crenellated and has a brick and flint entrance porch. At each corner of the courtyard, as well as within the double courtyard, there are two-storey crenellated brick towers. These towers have blank arched recesses on each floor of their outer faces, and sashes and altered doors on their inner faces. One of the towers is built adjacent to flint cross walls and crenellated outbuildings within the courtyard, which are attached to the walls. This courtyard was formerly the stable courtyard for East Cliff Lodge. Part of the perimeter wall is also referenced in relation to East Cliff Lodge.
