Slip Lane, Alkham

We have recently completed a condition report on the significant fabric of this Grade II rural cottage in Alkham, in conjunction with proposals by Holloway Studio for a new development in the grounds adjacent to the cottage. The Cottage is timber framed and clad in red bricks with gauged brickwork details. It is in need of repair and refurbishment to the external and internal fabric including structural works. The main two storey wing appears to date from 1712 as denoted by a plaque and the Slatter Coat of Arms. The single storey annexe appears much older and is likely to be the original building on the site. The cottage lies in the Alkham Conservation Area, the Kent Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and is in the vicinity of a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).
