Lower Ensden Road, Old Wives Lees, Canterbury

This Grade II Listed detached farmhouse occupies a secluded rural position in the Kent Downs, between Old Wives Lees and Selling. The property is set within grounds of approximately 3.38 acres and includes a range of outbuildings, with countryside views and a gravel driveway providing parking. The house is described as requiring modernisation, offering scope to update the accommodation while retaining its period character, subject to the necessary consents. The ground floor currently comprises an entrance hall, sitting room with an inglenook fireplace, drawing room, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room and cloakroom. There are five bedrooms on the first floor, including a principal bedroom with en-suite bathroom, as well as a family bathroom and separate WC. A cellar has direct access to the garden. The outbuildings provide ancillary space, with their condition and potential requiring further investigation. The farmhouse is around six miles from Canterbury and within reach of Selling, Chilham and Faversham. The listing describes rail connections from nearby villages and Canterbury, as well as road access to the M2. The combination of a substantial historic house, extensive grounds and outbuildings makes this a significant modernisation project; the Grade II listing means proposed works and any changes should be checked with the relevant authorities.
