Numbers 35, 37 and 39 Ospringe Street occupy one, probably, 15th century timber framed building with the two wings jettied to the street. The ground floor has been rebuilt in brick and the first floor stuccoed, all under a tile roof. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1069432 Ospringe is a village and area of Faversham, Kent. The village lies on the Roman road Watling Street (now the A2). The historic Maison Dieu fronts onto Watling Street and the remains of substantial Roman buildings, thought to be the site of the Durolevum mentioned in the Antonine Itinerary, have been found nearby.
