Ford Place consists of one wing of a large Elizabethan or Jacobean mansion. According to John Newman in Pevsner's "The Buildings of England: West Kent and The Weald" the plan must have been a half-H of which the centre and north wing have disappeared. He points out that on the chimney stacks are the dates 1582 and 1605, although the numerals are 20th century. This is the small green between the garden wall and the road.
