Description

Nestled in the picturesque Kent countryside, just beyond Farningham, Charton Manor Farm encompasses nearly 40 acres of potential-filled estate. This extensive property combines substantial living space with a range of agricultural buildings and existing residential accommodations, offering unique investment opportunities. Held within the same family for over a century, it has developed into a flexible rural holding featuring a spacious farmhouse with multiple reception areas, an Aga-equipped kitchen/breakfast room, a study, dining room, and eight bedrooms spread over three levels. The well-maintained gardens and paddocks enhance its appeal as a tranquil family home or an investment project. Beyond the main residence, the estate includes various traditional and modern outbuildings complete with residential planning permissions for development into additional dwellings. This allows for versatile uses such as multi-generational living spaces, guest accommodations, or holiday rentals. Particularly noteworthy is the former stable yard that already provides ancillary accommodation and has consents for added residential units. There is also potential in the Sheep Shed area that can accommodate another self-contained dwelling. The land itself is predominantly oriented to the south and east of the main farmstead and is currently utilized for grazing and haymaking. Its fertile soil is well-drained and holds promise for agricultural ventures such as viticulture. Despite its serene location, Charton Manor Farm offers convenient access to local amenities including Farningham and Eynsford villages; Sevenoaks being approximately eight miles south; plus swift rail connections to London from nearby stations. Overall, this estate presents exceptional adaptability whether you aim to maintain it as a private residence or seek to develop it into an income-generating rural asset catering to today’s diverse lifestyle needs.
