A Roman villa in Orpington inhabited between approximately 140 and 400 AD that was the centre of a farming estate of about 500 acres. The house had at least 20 rooms at its largest and was altered several times over 260 years. Remains of ten rooms are visible today, including those with opus signinum and tessellated floors, and evidence of underfloor central heating hypocaust systems.
