Situation
Challock enjoys convenient access to the A20 at Charing, providing direct routes towards Canterbury, Ashford, and Faversham. Set within a designated National Landscape (formerly an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty), the village is surrounded by the scenic rolling hills of the North Downs and a network of picturesque footpaths.
The nearest major town is Ashford, which offers a wide range of amenities and High Speed rail services to London, with journey times from Ashford International as fast as 37 minutes.
Challock has a strong sense of community and offers several valued local amenities. These include The Lees – a popular village green, the well-regarded local pub The Stag, a modern village hall, and a farm shop. Just a short drive away is the celebrated King’s Wood, known for its extensive woodland walks and spectacular bluebell displays in spring.
The village is particularly popular with families. Challock Primary School continues to perform strongly and was rated Outstanding by Ofsted in 2023.

Additional information
Mains water is believed to be available nearby, and while the property will require its own private sewage treatment plant, there is no mains gas in the village. Buyers are advised to make their own enquiries regarding service connections.
A new garden fence separating the building plot to the property behind will be erected by the seller within 6 weeks post completion.
