Building record TQ 55 NW 663 - Bat and Ball Studio, 168 St John's Hill, Sevenoaks

This Commercial building was once the Bat and Ball Hotel and dates from the late 18th century/early 19th century. It is a two-storey brick construction with tile-hung fascia. It sits uncomfortably on the busy Bat and Ball crossroads, opposite the new Sainsbury Local Supermarket. It is now the Bat and Ball Studio. The building also includes what must once have been two attached cottages fronting the A25. Only one door now gives onto the A25. The former second door has been crudely boarded over, leaving just a window. The ground floor of these former cottages are rendered, while the first floor is red tile-hung. there are paned sash windows on the ground floor with wooden-framed windows on the first floor. (1)
