Advertised as being for sale for £300,000 in April 2014. A characterful country pub on the market for the first time in 26 years. Split level accommodation over 3 storeys comprising main bar area, L shaped servery, upper bar area, open fireplaces, dartboard, piano, chilled beer cellar, trade/domestic kitchen, patio and garden, parking for 15+ vehicles.

Project 2014 has been started to try and identify all the pubs that are and have ever been open in Kent. I have just added this pub to that list but your help is definitely needed regarding it's history.

As the information is found or sent to me, including photographs, it will be shown here.

Thanks for your co-operation.
