Description
TQ 64 SE BRENCHLEY MAIDSTONE ROAD, MATFIELD (east side) 6/145 Thorn Cottages
GV II
Row of 4 cottages. Late C18/early C19. Ground floor brick; first floor tile- hung; C20 concrete tile roof, replacing slate.
Plan: The range faces approximately north. 4 probably 2-cell symmetrically- arranged cottages, the principal rooms heated by back-to-back fireplaces in axial stacks. Some C20 single-storey rear additions.
Exterior: 2 storeys. Roof hipped at ends. Each cottage has a C19 panelled front door, the range has 4 ground floor and 4 first floor 16-pane circa early C19 sash windows; casement windows to the rear. Pained front doors in the centre, doors to extreme left and right.
Interior: Not inspected.
Although the concrete tile roof is an unfortunate alteration, purpose built cottage rows of this date with doors and windows intact are rare.
