Looks to be the old Garden Hotel, 167-169 Boughton Street. Grade 2 listed. I found a tantalising Frith Photo with indecipherable writing on the side weatherboarding.

On the side of a previously busy 'A' road that has been by-passed.

So far, I haven't found a lot of its earlier history but I can say that the windows are unlikely to have been for the view.  Village location.

Lots of glass, is it for the view, or light to work?

Otterden it is!


They conduct lots of educational days for children. In the 1930s there was a school for refugee Jewish children at nearby Bunce Court.


I hope to establish a connection to various people in the 1700s from the then parish based around the estate church of St Lawrence, now a private chapel.


A very historic and deeply interesting place.

JW, you forgot that it is between M2 and M20, the house at Chilston is just south of M20.
