In the Kent Downs, the historic village of Shoreham is home to a dozen of so listed buildings, including the nineteenth century bridge, which has three low brick arches with stone buttressing and solid balustrade of red brick and flint rubble. On nearby Darenth Way, the Grade II-listed Waterhouse was built during the reign of Queen Anne (1702-1714). About a century later, the painter Samuel Palmer stayed here, before the present grand Georgian facade was added. It must be one of Shoreham's grandest houses.
