The following reference
to "Good Intent Cottages" from the Dover Express, referred to the premises as a
cottage, so obviously the building was converted after closure.

An Unusual Case
Cecil Frederick White, Good Intent Cottages, Ash, was summoned for
riding a motor-cycle within five miles of the coast without a permit. He
was also summoned for riding a motor-cycle without insurance.
Defendant pleaded guilty.
Supt. Wheatley said that defendant was stopped at 7.45 p.m. on 31st
July, at Worth. The motor-cycle was displaying the letter "-," which was
used by messengers of the Eastry Rural District Council, and there was a
disk stating that the motor-cycle was being used, in case of emergency,
for designated duties. Defendant said, " On this occasion I am on
pleasure. I understand that I didn't have to have a permit." The
motor-cycle was covered by insurance taken out by the Eastry R.D.C., but
it was only when it was used for Civil Defence purposes. Defendant was
again seen using the motor-cycle two days later, and he said that he
went to a cinema at sandwich on his way to duty.
Defendant said that he was on night duty from 9 p.m. to 9 the
following morning, every night of the week. Before becoming a full-time
messenger he was doing the job voluntarily. next Monday he was joining
the London A.F.S.
The Chairman said that defendant would be fined £1 for driving
without a permit and £2 for no insurance, and licence suspended as
regards private vehicles, for 12 months. It should be known that a
person could drive from his home to place of business with that
insurance, but if he deviated from the route and did private business he
was not covered.
