Bushy Ruff House
Large house built in 1860 by the then owner John Banks as an almost total rebuild of an earlier house. Following various owners over the years it was requisitioned for war use during the Second World War after which it fell into disuse. In 1973 it was put up for sale and part of the grounds, including the lake, were bought by Dover Council the following year as an extension of Russell Gardens. Other than a period as a nursing home in the 1980s/90s the house remained in disuse, despite various proposals for conversion either to a family home or apartments, and in 2010 suffered a serious fire.
