Restoration House in Rochester, Kent, is a fine example of an Elizabethan mansion.
It is so named because the restored King Charles II stayed there in 1600 on his way to reclaim England's throne.
The novelist Charles Dickens, who lived nearby, used it as a model for Miss Havisham's Satis House in Great Expectations.
