The Grade Two listed former Manor House of Painters which lent its name to our village. Recently teased back to its historic best, showing the original additions of its custodians over its 500 year history. The house has many quirky features that have been left as found, from the nooks, creaks and crackles in original plaster work. Sometimes used as a film and photographic location furnished with an eclectic array of props and furnishings that set it apart from the usual country house stay. Just along our lane is The Alma , a traditional Kent ale house, family run and offering great food throughout the year both inside and in the beer garden. With a large twelve seater dining table beside the inglenook fire is great for gatherings. Walks are on our doorstep with orchards, open fields and Faversham creekside all easily accessible.
