Summary - CHALK HOUSE FARM BARNSOLE ROAD STAPLE CANTERBURY CT3 1LE
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Gated country plot with paddock and planning permission for additional outbuildings.
- Grade II Listed farmhouse dating from 1704 with period features
Chalk House Farm is an L-shaped Grade II Listed farmhouse dating from 1704, set in just under 0.79 acres of gardens and paddock. The house retains strong period character — exposed beams, inglenook and brick fireplaces, parquet hall and oak doors — and offers flexible reception space across approximately 2,089 sqft. A gated gravel drive leads to a garage and mature grounds with a greenhouse, wildlife pond and a kid’s hideaway room. Planning permission is already granted to replace the existing garage with a double garage and two offices above, including a bathroom and balcony, increasing usable space and home-office potential.
This home will suit a buyer who values historic character and generous outdoor space: families seeking rural living, those wanting a hobby garden or small paddock, or buyers who can sensitively upgrade period fabric. Practical considerations include Grade II listing (which restricts alterations and may complicate works), solid brick walls likely without modern insulation, and slow broadband. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators; services and appliances should be verified prior to purchase.
The property is offered freehold and chain-free with potential for early possession. The location is rural yet accessible — about nine miles to Canterbury and under five miles to Sandwich — and benefits from nearby village amenities, primary schools, and countryside walks. Council tax is described as expensive, and mobile signal is average. Interested buyers should be prepared for listed-building consent for major works and for typical maintenance associated with historic homes.
