Grade II* Listed oasts and granaries. Early 20th century and listed in 1959 as Whitbreads Hop Farm, it is now an events and retail venue. The site has been a farm since at least the 16th century and in 1575 ownership passed to the Worshipful Company of Drapers for about the next 350 years. The farm was sold to Whitbread in 1920 and remained a working farm until 1997 although the brewery opened it up to visitors as early as the 1930s. The new owners grew the business and sold it to Kent Attractions Ltd in 2007. They sold it again in 2012 only to be rescued the following year by another company from within The Hop Farm group.
