Description
Kent House is a lodge to Amesbury Abbey and a farmhouse for Park Farm, now functioning as a house. It was built in 1607 and around 1733. The structure is made of flint with stone dressings and has fissile stone slate roofs. The building has an irregular triangular shape with an octagonal stair turret on the northeast side. To the south, there is an 18th-century rectangular block made of knapped flintwork and stone.
The original building features an 18th-century stone surround to a ground floor window and a chamfered mullioned and transomed cross window on the upper floor. It has moulded string courses and a lozenge panel, along with a moulded stone cornice and an ogee roof. The stair tower is three storeys high, marked by string courses, and has recessed reserved stone surrounds to square windows, a stone cornice, and an ogee roof. There is a lozenge on the northeast face with the date 1607.
The added rectangular block to the south has three bays, with the ground floor raised and a stone plat band. The windows have architraves and stepped flush keystones, and there is a central six-panelled door with a dentilled pediment on carved brackets. The block extends to the west at a slight angle and features a parapet. At the rear, there is a single-storey block in matching squared knapped flintwork that was added around 1960.
