Lullington Court

This is a late 16th-century lobby-entrance house, extended to the rear and refronted in the early 18th century, with restoration and refenestration work in the 1930s. The building is timber-framed, with the front range refronted in knapped flint with red brick dressings. The rear of the building is red brick to ground floor – including some early brickwork – with tile hanging above. It has a tiled roof, half-hipped to the front range and with a series of hips to the rear, and two brick chimneystacks. The front range is two storeys and attics in the gable end, with five bays, while the rear range is three storeys and attics, and has four bays.

The front range features a central chimneystack, and windows are 1930s metal casements. It has a central doorcase with a 17th-century panelled door. The side elevations are mainly flint-faced with applied 20th-century framing to the gables. The rear elevation contains a brick stack to the left side and a projection housing a bread oven.

On the ground floor, the lounge has an open fireplace with a roll-moulded bressummer and blank spandrels, along with a chamfered axial beam and floor joists. The former lobby has had the stairs removed and an early 20th-century gallery inserted. The dining room has a smaller fireplace with a roll-moulded bressummer and a mark of a crane. The kitchen features a chamfered beam with run-out stops. The front basement has a beam with a two-inch chamfer and run-out stops, along with early 19th-century coal bins. The rear basement was reputedly a dairy and has a chamfered beam with run-out stops and several early plank doors.

The first floor of the front range displays jowled posts, including a weathered example indicating it was originally an outside wall. It retains the original roof with staggered purlins and a collar beam, although the rafters have been renewed in the later 20th century.

Historically, the farm was originally owned by the Sackville West family of Knole House, Sevenoaks. An L-shaped building is shown on an estate map of 1725, indicating that the remainder of the rear range was added subsequently. A lease from 1725 stipulated that a manorial court was to be held annually.
