Amber Prospect
This was originally part of Parsonage Farm and was bought when the land was sold as individual lots in 1995. It was bought as one plot along with the land and building which is now Buzzards. The site originally had a two-bed farm workers’ bungalow (Notts Cottage which predated 1841) on what is now Buzzard’s land, opposite Parsons Cottage/Harvest Cottage and which fronted on Hatham Green Lane. The bungalow was demolished to make way for Amber Prospect, which was built in 1995, further back from the road and slightly to the southeast. The plot was divided into Amber Prospect and Buzzards in 2016.
Buzzards
The original building on this site was a piggery for Parsonage Farm and was bought in 1995 along with the land which is now Amber Prospect. The original building was demolished and Buzzards was built from 2010. Footpath MR218 which originally ran diagonally across the site was legally diverted around the boundary of the garden in 2020.
Parsonage Farm House
In 1841 this was a farm of 135 acres known as Parsons Farm. it was owned by James Graham and farmed by Thomas Hills. It was mainly arable and in 1865 became the centre of what is known as the Eolith Controversy, where many flints were discovered on the farm which appeared to have been worked by hand. By 2012 most of the farming use had stopped and much of the land had been sold leaving about 12 acres of land. After 2013 many of the redundant farm buildings (some of which had been lived in by farm workers for very many years) were converted and sold as private dwellings.
Jane's Farm
There was a farmhouse on this site in 1841 occupied by William Hollands who had six acres of orchards and hops either side of the Ash Road in the area known as Kittles (or Kettles) Corner. By 1996 the farm had grown to 34 acres and was sold. The old house, which was much closer to Ash Road, was demolished and the current building and barn were erected in 2005. The barn is now known as Lucy’s Barn and together with the field to the south was sold in 2018.
