Grade II listed Pope Street Farmhouse is a substantial, newly refurbished country home arranged over multiple floors. The refurbishment has delivered generous living spaces centred on a large kitchen/breakfast room that opens onto a terrace and landscaped gardens, with formal reception rooms, study, cellar utility and a luxurious wine cellar. The property includes a principal bedroom suite with dressing room and well‑appointed bathrooms, plus guest accommodation on the second floor.
Outside, the plot is extensive and private with mature planting, a contained swimming pool, tennis court, large sheds and former chalk pit garden extension. Practical outbuildings include an open car barn, a gym, log stores and ample driveway parking. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal make home working straightforward.
Planning consent was previously granted (ref 13/00021/AS) for conversion of the adjoining outbuilding to ancillary accommodation, which may be useful for flexible use subject to current permissions. Buyers should note the property’s Grade II listed status — attractive for character but likely to restrict alterations and add consenting costs. The solid brick construction (no known cavity insulation) may mean additional expense to upgrade thermal performance.
Located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty between Canterbury and Ashford, the house sits in a rural, well‑connected location with good schools nearby and direct road and rail access to London via Ashford International. Council tax is described as quite expensive; prospective purchasers should factor ongoing running and maintenance costs for pool, court and outbuildings.
