Description
House. It likely dates from the 16th century or earlier and was altered and extended around 1802. The house is timber framed with exposed areas and red brick infill on the left side. The rest of the exterior is red brick with tile hanging, and it has a plain tiled roof. It may have originated as a hall house. The building is two stories high with a garret, built on a plinth, and features a half-hipped roof and a stack in the centre to the left. There are two three-light wooden casement windows on each floor, with an additional two-light casement window on the ground floor to the right. A boarded door is located in the centre to the left, set within a framed surround. A catslide outshot (a low-sloping roof extension) is on the rear left, and a single-story hipped wing is situated on the rear right, dated "T M 1802". The farm’s historic name, Badmonden, referenced a cell of Beaulieu Abbey in Normandy, which transferred to Rochester Cathedral by 1414 and was suppressed in 1540.
