Canterbury, Kent

NEW PRICE -A rare lifestyle property quietly positioned within 4 acres (*TBV) of mature gardens and paddocks, with an exceptional combination of main residence, income generation, land and future potential options.

At its centre is a charming 4 bedroom farmhouse of 2,815 sq. ft. built in part from circa1760, complemented by 2 bedroom ancillary accommodation, established holiday lets and substantial outbuildings. Together, they create a highly adaptable environment suited to multi-generational living, creative enterprise or lifestyle-led business opportunities, with additional scope for enhancement or redevelopment, subject to the necessary consents.
