In December and January 1819-20, the Duke and Duchess of Kent and the infant Princess Victoria stayed here. The Duke of Kent died here. The house was then called Woolbrook Glen. The road passing close by is com- paratively recent. 2 storey stuccoed house (1 storey at south west corner where ground level is higher). Crenellated parapet. 4 window garden front with Gothic casements, some of geometric pattern glazing bars removed. Royal arms in centre of front. The single storey south west end is bowed with Gothic French windows and delicate iron trellis supports to tent-roofed verendah. Entrance front has commemorative tablet of 1897. Good Gothicised porch with trefoils in spandrels of arched openings and iron balustrade to parapet. Doorway itself has pointed head and surround of rustic posts and flintwork. Later additions to rear are in sympathetic style with continuation of crenellated parapet and 2light geometrically glazed casements with thin drip moulds over.
