According to the Listing, this was once a gate-lodge for Clare House Park. Close to New Road, it has survived amid modern residential development. The neatly-squared blocks are most likely Kentish ragstone - though that material more often takes the form of irregular angular blocks when used for small buildings. The Gothick details are typical of the period 1790-1820. http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101363128-108-new-road-east-malling-and-larkfield#.WdE0iSghzo4 Just by way of comparison: Image
