Description
Mount Le Hoe is a house from the 18th century located on Stepneyford Lane in Benenden. It is constructed of red brick with grey headers and features a half-hipped tiled roof topped with a central brick chimneystack. The building has two storeys, attics, and a basement, with three windows in total. The central window is a 16-pane design, while the end windows are tripartite with cambered head linings. The entrance includes a central doorcase with a wide canopy supported by two Tuscan columns and features six flush panelled doors. At the rear, there is a wing where the ground floor is made of red brick and the first floor is weatherboarded, also featuring an external brick chimneystack. Local tradition suggests that French prisoners of war were housed here during the Napoleonic Wars.
