Farnham House is an architect-designed detached home set on a huge plot on the edge of Canterbury, built to a high contemporary specification and extending to about 5,273 sq ft. Vaulted entrance spaces, large picture windows and high ceilings create an airy, open-plan layout that sits comfortably with the rural outlook. The property includes a triple garage with a two-bedroom annexe above, extensive terraces and lawns that back onto adjoining orchards.
Interior fittings are premium: a German kitchen with integrated appliances, stone worktops, multiple wood-burners, marble feature walls, luxury en suites, Rako mood lighting, smart home wiring and a ten-year builder’s warranty from 2024. The house also benefits from solar panels, underfloor heating, high ceilings, and a galleried landing with far-reaching country views — qualities likely to appeal to families wanting space, entertaining areas and a high-spec finish.
There are some practical considerations. The installed solar panels are not connected, broadband speeds in the area are very slow, and council tax is described as quite expensive (Band G). Part of the adjoining orchard and a separate parcel of land are available by separate negotiation, which offers potential to expand the plot but will require an additional purchase.
Overall this is a substantial family home in an affluent rural setting offering generous accommodation, modern systems and strong entertaining spaces. Viewings are recommended to appreciate the scale, finish and countryside setting firsthand.
