Abstract: |
A mid-nineteenth-century house, and a meeting house since 1960. The building has been altered but makes a positive contribution to the local conservation area. Overall, it is of medium significance. Evidential value: The building was built as a residence, and its evidential value as a meeting house is low. Historical value: The building forms part of the mid-to-late nineteenth-century northern suburban expansion of Sevenoaks, and as such is of medium historical value. Its historical value as a meeting house is low. Aesthetic value: The building is a pleasing design which retains many original features, especially on the outside, and with its garden setting makes a positive contribution to the local conservation area. However, some of the alterations of the past fifty years have somewhat detracted from its character and appearance. The meeting house is of medium aesthetic value. Communal value: The meeting house is well used by Friends and local community groups. It is of high communal value. |
