The entry shall be amended to read:

House. Circa 1840-50, possibly about 1843 when the creek was improved. Rendered
brick. Plain tile roof with gabled ends. Rendered brick gable-end stacks. Plan:
L-shaped on plan, the main front range with 2 principal rooms heated from gable
end stacks, a central entrance and a service room in a 2-storey outshut behind
the left-hand room with a stack on its left side. The house is raised up on a base-
ment, presumably as a precaution against flooding at high tides. Exterior: 2
storeys, attic and basement. Symmetrical 3-window front, the centre first floor
window is narrower. The windows were boarded over at the time of the inspection
(August 1988) but if the original windows survive they would be sashes with glazing
bars as shown on a photograph of 1975. Central doorway with original wooden door-
case with deeply reeded pilasters, the mouldings continuing in the brackets
supporting a flat canopy with a modillion cornice and the original 6-panel door.
Two C20 flat-roof dormers at the front. The right hand end of the rear elevation
projects under a catslide roof and has sash windows with glazing bars. Interior:
not inspected but is expected to retain some C19 features. Note: The house might
have been the home of Samuel Matthew Goldfinch, Mayor of Faversham in the Late C19
and whose shipyard was nearby. His sailing barges were said to be of outstanding
quality and at least one made trans-Atlantic voyages.
