Drawing of the former Sackett's Hill House from Sketches of Historic Thanet by D Perkins
Accompanying text reads "This was one home of the Sackett family, yeoman farmers in Thanet for over five hundred years. Another occupant was Sir Richard Burten who commanded the Congreve rocket batteries at the Battle of Waterloo. The house burnt down in 1942 and now only the stables remain. A cottage at Sackett's Hill has fine "Flemish gables". As the house stood a good way back from Dane Court Road one owner installed a light railway to transport his guests!"

Sackett's Hill Farmhouse (from sale particulars, January 2008, Clive Emson land & property auctioneers), described as a Grade II Listed farmhouse, believed to date from around 1680, with Dutch gables and constructed in red brick with a plain tiled roof and a catslide roof to the rear. The property has a wealth of beams and inglenook fireplaces.
