The nearby gardens have a long Japanese-style garden with a stream flowing down to a lake.

Close to a garden to visit and a village now bypassed by an important A Road. About 2km from a significant WW2 structure.

I struck lucky with that one Pete. Your clue of less than 10miles and the look of the scene made me think of Snodland. A search of the streets found it.
Next one ...
Somewhere else for me to visit sometime.

Wow, thought that was a safe one on a road to nowhere. Now a care home called Birling House. All yours

Most certainly, not sure when it closed but I used to call there in the 1970s-80s

@CAT: this source seems to imply it was a Sunday School:
https://davidskardon.wixsite.com/skardons-world/more-old-pictures
However this source:
http://home.freeuk.com/eastkent/deal/middle_st/middle_street_1.htm
disagrees and says it was originally a National School (Infants).
It's visible on GSV at:
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.2260982,1.4033872,3a,75y,91.29h,87.21t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sBASrcUb537HkwbIoeUE5uA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!5m1!1e1
hence located at: 51.2260982°N 1.4033872°E
Although the door in is Brewer Street, from the numbering it is in Middle Street. I discovered (from council website) that Brewer Street is named after the town's first recorder and not, as one might suppose, from an ale-maker.
