MenuOwletts, Kent
Owletts is a 17th-century country house at Cobham, Kent. The house was originally built in 1683–84 for Bonham Hayes, a successful yeoman farmer. The red-brick Kentish Yeoman's house is symmetrical, two storeys high, with sliding sash and dormer windows. The house interiors date in part to 1684 and include an ornate Carolean plasterwork ceiling. In 1862 the renowned architect Sir Herbert Baker was born here. The house has a garden partly designed by Gertrude Jekyll. When Herbert Baker died in 1946 he left Owletts to the National Trust. It is within the council area of Gravesham (Kent).
