Beachbum is closest with King's Lodge, Maidstone.  Don't forget, this building was demolished in the 80s/90s.

Replaced by a large sheltered housing complex which is named after an ancient king.

I'm sure that many years ago, a Company (may have been Tylers) had a display of AC Cobra replicas in the Pentagon Centre in Chatham. From memory, the most expensive model was powered by a Jaguar 5.3 litre V12. It was a beautiful car and I decided I wanted one. Until I saw the price.

Beachbum You must be joking with King Arthur Court. Sittingbourne doesn't have any archtechural marvels.
Exeptions being Church,s and the Artdeco  Burtons shop front and the old Odeon Cinema.

King Arther Court, Sittingbourne?

More central Kent. This building was purpose built.
