Otham Manor, previously known as Wardes, is a late 14th-century manor house in Otham, Kent.
The house was built in the late 14th century, probably around 1370, and was altered and extended in the 16th century. It is a L-shaped two-storey timber-framed hall house; the north wing being the older part and the south wing being from the 16th century. The north wing has jettied bays at each end; the western bay having been rebuilt. The clay tiled hipped roof is steeply pitched with a gable to the south end of the south wing. Internally the roof structure is exposed with tie beams and king post.
The house was restored in 1912 by Sir Louis Mallet who added an extension to the west side of the southern wing. The whole house is a Grade I listed building.
