Burford Farm lies along Redwall Lane — a country lane linking Linton Hill (A229) with Hunton Hill — around six miles south of Maidstone and just 1.5 miles from Coxheath village centre.

The nearby A229 provides excellent road links north to the M20 and M2 motorways and south towards the A21 and the south coast. Regular bus services operate from East Street, Hunton, with routes to Maidstone town centre.

For rail commuters, Maidstone East and Staplehurst stations both offer mainline services to London Victoria and Charing Cross.

A detailed site brochure and planning documentation are available on request from the Land Team.
