Cottage, Sevenoaks Road

This small cottage, Lime Tree Cottage, sits incongruously on the Green south of the junction of Warren Road with Sevenoaks Road. It was built here following the lease in 1814 of this patch of land to an Edward Bassett by the Lord of the Manor of Chelsfield, even though it was common ground, and the Lord of the Manor had no authority to do so. Despite this, no action was taken, and the cottage has remained.
