Full Description
Situation
Located in a peaceful rural setting, this Grade II listed farmhouse offers a secluded and tranquil lifestyle while being within convenient reach of nearby amenities and transportation links. It presents a rare opportunity to own a period home, believed to date from the 17th Century, yet with modern comforts, combining the best of both worlds for discerning buyers seeking a distinctive and luxurious country retreat.
Located on the outskirts of the popular village of Adisham, which boasts a well rated Primary School, Community Hall and Church. Other villages in the vicinity further cater well for one's every day needs. Nestled on the edge of the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, there is a wealth of walks, bridle paths and cycle routes available on one's doorstep. Adisham main line station is just over 1/2 mile from the property, whilst the Cathedral City of Canterbury offers a wide range of shopping, recreational and educational facilities lies within only a few miles. From here the high speed link to London St Pancras has brought the travel time to the capital down to around 60 minutes or so. The nearby Eurotunnel links, together with the cross channel services at Dover, provide direct and easy access into Europe.
