From A26 London Road turn into Speldhurst Road at the traffic lights at the southern end of Southborough. After about a mile go past the turning for Broomhill Road / Salomons on the left; after a short distance there is a lodge building on the left. Almost immediately, take the next turning right which has a yellow grit bin on the right. This is Stockland Green Road but the street sign in the hedge on the left is difficult to spot. Almost immediately Stockland Green Road bears to the left. Do not follow the bend round but go straight ahead into the drive which leads to Bentham Hill House – the former lodge is on the right.
