Hi, I'm kinda new here..
Found this place ages ago, but its always locked up and there isn't anyway of getting in without somebody seeing you climbing over the gates, however two weeks ago the gates were open and we went in..
Here is some history bout the place for you....
The Wildernesse Estate
In 1669, Sir Charles Bickerstaffe purchased 364 acres of land on the north-west corner of Sevenoaks and built the original house. In 1884 the house and land were purchased by Lord Hillington. Under his guidance the house was substantially rebuilt, and he built the magnificent 'listed' coach house and clock tower which now houses Sealclean. The building is one of the finest examples of Kent Ragstone of its kind, and many of its original features exist today.
Sealclean: A recorded history of quality and service
Founded in 1881, originally known as the Westerham laundry, Sealclean moved to its present site when Captain Stanley W. Wells took over the hand laundry of the Wildernesse Estate and moved the now enlarged operation into the former coach house. A fine listed building suited to it's present day use.
Here are my photos.. enjoy
What does that mean?????
Didn't investigate upstairs as the celling was being held up by scaffolding...
Outside
Thank you for looking
