Building record TQ 55 NW 622 - The Coach House, 7 Hollybush Lane, Sevenoaks

A detached former coach house, this property was in the 1901 street directory and hence built 1898/1900. The Vine Court Estate was laid out as large development plots, but (apart from number 5) the plots along Holly Bush Lane were used for coach houses serving large houses on Vine Court Road. Number 7 'The Coach House' is the one surviving in close to its original form. Others have been either demolished or extensively extended. Number 7 (which was the former coach house to No 18 Vine Court Road) shared a similar form to Number 9, with a two storey hipped gable presenting to the street frontage, with a lower (single storey) element adjoining. The second gabled two storey element to the south is a later addition. (1)
