Culcroft

About the road

Culcroft: 2-12 (even)

Culcroft, one of the roads on the Wellfield estate, was built by Sevenoaks Council as council housing in 1976.  However as a result of the right to buy policy only 6 of the 29 houses are now owned by West Kent Housing Association, to whom Sevenoaks transferred their housing stock in 1989, the rest are in private ownership.  The origin of the name is uncertain, but would appear to be based on page 45 of Reverend Bancks's book "Hartley Through the Ages" where he transcribes a 1392 deed which mentions Northfield and Culcroft (unfortunately the deed probably says Cutcroft).  The Culcroft of the 1392 deed did not relate to this land but actually Manor Field and the adjoining farmland in Church Road.

Historically, the future Culcroft was part of fields called Care Hill and Haddocks (or Huttocks), which were part of Blue House Farm. This farm burnt down in 1851; the house Mintmakers in Church Road was built in its place.

Most of the land bounded by Quakers Close, Ash Road, Church Road and Woodland Avenue was acquired by a firm of London Estate Agents, Payne, Trapps & Co Limited, in 1905.  They named the land the "Fawkham Park Estate" and laid out roads, only some of which are the same today.  One that has not been retained was Porchester Crescent which included the land where Culcroft is today.  Payne and Trapps sold off the land in 25 foot plats, but very few houses were built and the land became under used.  In both wars the government used emergency powers to plough the land for the war effort.

The development of the land was complicated by the existence of individual plot owners, many of whom could not be traced.  Dartford Rural Council intended council housing to be located here as early as 1954 when they granted themselves planning permission to build here.  They did not intend to develop immediately but it put a block on private landowners who may have wished to build a house on their plot.

Statistics about the road

Information about the houses

Explanation:

Date of Construction is sometimes approximate.
(1) Details of the type of house and the plot history. Plot histories include the ancient farms and fields with the earliest known date, also the name of the smallholding sold by Smallowners Limited at the beginning of the 20th century.
(2) Planning Permissions include the reference number, so more details can be seen at Sevenoaks Council. My records are not complete and I have not included refused or withdrawn applications.
(3) Before Council Tax the tax on residential property was called the rates. The registers for 1956, 1963 and 1972 are held at Sevenoaks Council. The rateable value given is the gross estimated rental value of the property, that is how much the Valuation Office thought people would pay to rent it, the rates were actually calculated on a lower value after certain statutory allowances were made. For some reason the 1956 register contains the rateable value for the properties as it would have been in 1939.
(4) Council tax is based on what the Valuation Office thought the property would have sold for in 1993. It is divided into 8 value bands.
(5) House price data 1995 to date produced by Land Registry © Crown copyright 2016. To report an error, go to Change a sales record form.
