We were delighted to have the opportunity to building this one-of-a-kind family home in a quiet area of the village and have enjoyed our time here, but it is time to downsize. However, we were extremely pleased to have been able to obtain full planning permission for the erection of four new detached properties in the grounds and hope the next owner will have the opportunity to bring the proposed development to fruition. Although the garden backs onto fields with wonderful rural views we are only a stone’s throw from the high street and all the amenities Garlinge has to offer including pubs and eateries, a post office, petrol station and M & S foods, pharmacy and convenience store as well as a good primary school and nearby Westgate includes a stunning beach, delightful independent shops, a station, secondary schools and an excellent cinema. As well as the famous Main Sands, Margate also has the Turner Gallery, wonderful artisan shops and restaurants in the Old Town, Dreamland amusement park and an array of sporting and educational facilities including Cliftonville Primary rated Outstanding by Ofsted, while grammar schools are available in Broadstairs and Ramsgate.

We have been here for the past 25 years and it has been a wonderful family home but it is now time for us to downsize. We fell in love with the views from the first moment we saw the property and have redesigned it over the years with the conservatory, garden room, balconies and terrace.  These improvements have increased the ability to enjoy the panoramic vistas and watch the amazing variety of wildlife.  It is also on the flight path for the occasional summer visit to the Battle of Britain Memorial at Capel of the iconic Spitfire and when we hear the easily recognizable rumble of the Merlin engine we always run to the balcony to watch the plane fly by. We have also installed solar panels with a battery system that is charged up by the solar panels and provides electricity for the house and the car charging points so our net electricity bill is particularly low. Although the only immediate neighbours are our peacocks and we enjoy the location as it is incredibly quiet and peaceful and there are wonderful places to go for walks, we are not remote. It is only a five minute drive to Tescos, the Folkestone retail park and the variety of individual shops, hair and beauty salons in Cheriton. We are also close to the Channel Tunnel for trips to the Continent and the M20 for London, Ashford and Dover. There is easy access to both Etchinghill and Sene Valley golf courses, the Folkestone Rugby club and Folkestone West station or Ashford for the fast train to London. Canterbury is within easy reach, as is the charming Cinque port town of Hythe if you want a day on the beach or wander round fascinating shops or stop off at one of the delightful bars and restaurants. Folkestone includes excellent grammar schools rated Outstanding by Ofsted as is St Martin’s Primary in Horn Street.   Features: - Garage - Terrace

GUIDE PRICE £700,000 - £725,000 Middle Farm is a delightful circa 16th Century Grade II listed house steeped in history, offering a wealth of accommodation and situated within the village of Hartley. The current seller has maintained the property whilst keeping the integrity of the original build, with inglenook fireplace and beams throughout. Internally the accommodation comprises of large proportioned rooms ideal for a family, with a spacious reception hall, large dining room opening to a sitting room, study/office, snug, kitchen, down stairs shower room and cellar. On the first floor are three bedrooms plus a family ensuite bathroom. Access to the property is via double electronic gates with entry system opening to a secure driveway for off road parking. Internal viewing is an absolute to fully appreciate this beautiful period home. We spoke to the vendors and this is what they had to say about their lovely property:    It was a combination of the superb location and the history of the house that initially drew us to it. I remember the first time we came to view it; we stepped inside and it immediately had the wow factor. The beautiful exposed beams and timbers, the fireplaces and old doors... they all combine to give it a huge amount of character and charm. We also loved the sense of space and the versatility of the house. It has a big footprint and so all of the rooms are nicely proportioned, and after our son came along we were able to adapt and change the use of certain rooms so we could create a playroom and a quiet space for him to sleep in, but at the same time have more grown-up areas for our downtime and for entertaining friends and family. We also have a well proportioned garden that’s been designed to be very low maintenance and that is not overlooked which has been another huge bonus. Seller Insight    There’s a patio area for alfresco meals; we’ve had lovely breakfasts and barbecues there, an area of artificial lawn, and there’s also a big workshop, which we’ve always thought has huge potential to be converted. In short, it’s a beautiful period home, but it also works incredibly well for modern family life. Seller Insight    As the name suggests, this used to be a farmhouse, and originally it would have stood on hundreds of acres. However, over time the land has been developed and in more recent years the outbuildings were converted into homes and, along with our house, now form this lovely little private, gated community. Our neighbours are all so nice; we’re not in each other’s pockets but there’s a really good sense of community here, and it’s a place where we’ve always felt very safe and secure. We also love the fact that we are in the heart of the village, which is a gorgeous place with a Post Office and shop, a library, pretty churches and two outstanding rated primary schools. Seller Insight    There’s also a country club, which we’re members of. It’s set in ten acres and has tennis courts, squash courts, there are cricket matches in the summer, various events, and there’s also a bar and restaurant. The village has lots to offer and it’s surrounded by stunning countryside so it’s great for walking too. Seller Insight    We’re moving to be closer to our places of work, but if we could pick up this house and take it with us we’d do it in a heartbeat. It’s absolutely gorgeous and totally unique, and it sits in such an amazing spot. We felt so lucky when we found it, and we’ve no doubt that the new owners will love living here every bit as much as we have. Location    Hartley lies in the northern side of the North Downs between Sevenoaks, and Dartford/Gravesend. The thriving village offering local shops and two excellent primary schools and Hartley Country Club offering a variety of sporting activities.

We have loved living here for the past 20 years and it has been a truly special, quirky and characterful family home. However, we feel it is now time to downsize, although we would like to stay locally as the village is delightful. In 1978 the property was completely derelict so the new owners at the time completely renovated the property and sensitively restored the property to its former glory. Since we have been here we have created the garden, installed new bathrooms, rewired the property in 2017 and installed a new boiler and new radiators. The flexible accommodation provides for a variety of requirements and it would even be possible to develop a business as the annexe portion used to be a hair salon. Minster has an Abbey and Church that was originally founded in 670AD and that gives the village its wonderful historic atmosphere. At the same time for commuters the village has a mainline station for the high speed train to Canterbury and London as well as a good primary school, a range of shops, convenience store and post office, a pharmacy, pubs and restaurants. There are also hair and beauty salons as well an excellent veterinary practice, a dog groomer and doctor's surgery. There is a great community spirit in the village that includes sports clubs, an amateur dramatic society, a bowls group, morris dancers and regular events in the village hall as well as a large recreation ground that also hosts the annual Minster Show. The Thanet Way for access to London and Canterbury and the Sandwich road for Dover and Folkestone are nearby, while the high speed train from Minster station will get you to Central London in under an hour and a quarter.  It is only a short distance to the Westwood Cross shopping centre for a little retail therapy and for golfing enthusiasts there is the St Augustine's Golf Club, Stonelees and the Manston Golf Centre as well as the renowned Championship courses at Sandwich. If you enjoy a walk with the dog or a bit of bird watching and seal spotting the Pegwell Bay Nature Reserve is only a short drive and there are plenty of places around for cycling and riding while the surrounding 26 miles of Thanet beaches offer a wonderful playground for the children.   Features: - Garage - Garden - Terrace

We were delighted to be able to buy the original bungalow as it is in such an excellent position and we knew it was ideal for renovation and upgrading. We have spent the past couple of years creating what is virtually a high end ‘new build’ but with a charming character and it is now ready for new owners to walk straight into, without having to lift a finger except install their furniture. The property is in a great location as it is only a short walk to the centre of town and the beach and, for golfing enthusiasts, it is not far to the renowned North Foreland golf course.

The Romans occupied the general area after their invasion in the 1st century and, along with evidence of habitation down the road in Lullingstone, there is also evidence of Roman habitation in Farningham. Three farmhouses and three villas have been unearthed. The River Darent provided excellent trout fishing and Charles Dickens was a regular visitor here.

This delightful, three storey, property enjoys its setting within the centre of the village and has been the home for its owners, Nick and Emmanuelle, who purchased the house in 2016. “We were attracted to the house and its position within the village, but also to its excellent location for our individual journeys into London and to Canterbury. Our end of terrace home was once two houses which, some years ago, was cleverly converged into one good sized family home. It does have a quirky, but friendly, connectivity, and its beams, open timbers, wooden doors and other historic features, gently reflect its past. Since coming to live here, we have considerably enhanced our home and added to its conveniences and comforts, all with respect to its historic character. Our home has worked so brilliantly for us on so many levels, including home working, with a natural welcoming ambience to our friends and family, especially on those days when the log fire is aglow.” Seller Insight    Our garden is split on two levels, with a raised lawn, areas for plants and even a section where we cultivate vegetables. It is also a neat garden in which to relax after busy days or to enjoy al fresco dining. We particularly love the quiet and friendly village with its many and varied amenities, and which has an exceptional caring community with many events taking place. We have made so many friends since coming to live here. Shops, schools, childcare nursery, restaurants and pubs are plentiful and being so close to the river is a great benefit. In addition, transport is first class and we find commuting to our place of work very convenient. We are also able to easily access channel ports very quickly for visits to the continent. Since coming to live here, our family has expanded and we now have two young children and, therefore, time for us to move to a larger property. We have loved every second of our life here and wish its new owners much happiness and contentment. Sitting / Dining Room 19'9" x 10'11" (6.02m x 3.33m). Door to front.

We bought the house in 2009 because we loved the position and it was near our family. In 2012 we decided to extend the property and built the undercroft/car port and the main bedroom suite above to provide a balance with the other balcony and have been delighted with the results. However we feel it is now time to start a new chapter in our lives and hope another family will be able to enjoy everything this seaside home has to offer. The Eastern Esplanade is in a lovely part of Broadstairs. You can walk down to Stone Bay and Viking Bay so is ideal for families who want to enjoy sandy beaches. At the same time we can stroll into the town centre with its wide variety of individual shops, bars and restaurants as well as a cinema and annual events such as Folk Week, the Dickens Festival and the Food Fair. Another advantage of Broadstairs is that it includes some very good private and grammar schools and the station can whisk you to London on the high speed train in under an hour and a half.

This apartment has been in our family for about 35 years and was previously owned by the renowned British golfer, Nick Faldo. It has been a special privilege to live in such a unique environment with superb views and a delightful community. It is very quiet and secure so can either be a charming permanent home or an unusual weekend and holiday retreat. Although each of the 32 apartments are privately owned all the residents ‘own’ the overall property through Commonhold and are all directors of the holding company, Kingsgate Castle Residents Limited. You can get to the quiet Kingsgate beach in a minute or two and it is not far to the Captain Digby if you want to enjoy an evening out without having to drive. For surfing enthusiasts the nearby Joss Bay is ideal and golfing aficionados can stroll round to the North Foreland Golf Club. Broadstairs is delightful Victorian seaside town with a mainline station where the fast train can whisk you to London in under an hour and a half. There are a wide variety of individual shops, bars and very good restaurants as well as annual events such as Folk Week, the Dickens Festival and the Food Fair. Another advantage of Broadstairs is that it has some very good private and grammar schools, while for a bit of retail therapy there is the nearby Westwood Cross shopping centre as well as a casino and the Vue cinema complex.   HISTORICAL NOTE: Kingsgate Castle was originally built in the 1760s for the Whig politician Lord Holland as the stable block and staff quarters for his nearby estate and ‘holiday home’ Holland House. He bequeathed the estate, including Kingsgate Castle, to his favourite son, Charles James Fox, who was also a Whig MP for about 38 years and became Britain’s first Foreign Secretary. Although best known as a boon companion of the Prince Regent and a notorious womaniser and gambler who had to sell the estate to pay his gambling debts, Charles Fox was also an anti-slave campaigner and a leading parliamentary advocate for individual liberty and religious tolerance. The estate, including the castle, was later owned by Sir John Lubbock, 1st Baron Avebury who brought in the Bank Holiday Act, and on his death it was bought by Lord Northcliffe owner of the Daily Mail, who transformed part of it into the North Foreland Golf course. In the 1920s Kingsgate Castle became a fashionable hotel with many illustrious visitors including British luminaries of the time such as John Mills, Peggy Ashcroft and Constance Cummings but it was eventually converted into unique and luxurious apartments. Kingsgate Bay was originally called St Bartholomew’s Bay but Charles II landed there in 1683 with his brother, the then Duke of York, and ordered the name to be changed. Later it was also where the Prince Regent (George IV) sometimes disembarked when visiting his friend Charles Fox. Features: - Parking - Garden

We love the property and the beautiful surroundings, and are only leaving it because we are re-locating to Ireland to pursue new career opportunities. The village is a very friendly place with its recreation ground, 14th century church and village hall where a variety of regular activities take place as well as the annual and very popular Staple Country Fayre.  We live opposite the quintessential 16th century Black Pig pub/restaurant, (originally built from ships timbers from local shipwreck), so it is great to be able to pop over for a meal without having to take the car out. The area even has the award winning Barnsole Vineyard for wine enthusiasts and an excellent garden centre with a cafe. There are wonderful places to go for walks as far as Chillenden where you can stop for a drink at The Griffin’s head, Ash with its surgery, primary and private school or the nearby village of Wingham. This has a good primary school, pubs and shops and the Wingham Wildlife Park while Gibsons farm shop/food hall and cafe is just the place to buy something special for the dining table or a place to meet your friends for breakfast or coffee.
