Overview

A beautiful unlisted 18th Century farmhouse secluded by mature gardens and featuring a superb self-contained 2-bedroom annexe set in the centre of the picturesque village conservation area.

Set well back from the road, parking is available for several cars, and a secure garage is also provided. Enter via the entrance hall, you find two stunning oak-floored reception rooms both overlooking the front garden. The smaller room has a charming inglenook fireplace and leads directly into the kitchen. The larger open-plan sitting/dining room has another striking open fireplace, and a separate study/office leads out directly to the rear patio. The country-style L-shaped kitchen/breakfast room has its own unique personality with a partially vaulted ceiling and exposed beams, leading to the character kitchen. Equipped with a large range cooker set under a spectacular brick/oak canopy. On the first floor, there are three delightfully decorated double bedrooms, all with splendid views over the garden. Two of these have en-suite facilities and there is also a spacious family bathroom with separate bath and shower. The second floor reveals the largest bedroom with a vaulted ceiling and inglenook fireplace. The en-suite incorporates a dressing/shower room with built-in wardrobes and a fifth double bedroom is accessed via a separate staircase. The Apartment annexe The recently converted annexe is accessed independently via the front driveway. A spacious hall leads into a dining/living room and a fully equipped kitchen. There are also two double bedrooms and a contemporary bathroom with separate bath and shower.

French doors in the living room lead onto a beautiful decked and balustraded patio, with steps down to a private gravel terrace surrounded by trees and shrubs.

The annexe has proven to be a valuable income source for the current owners or could be used as independent accommodation for friends or relatives.

This property has 0.46 acres of land.

Outside

The gardens are a particular feature surrounding the property with mature shrub beds, topiary hedges, specimen and mature trees.

To the rear a large, paved terrace, surrounded by an attractive brick-arched patio adjacent to a separate oak pergola covered dining area. The rear drive/gravel-garden is overlooked by a magnificent blue cedar, whilst a further private garden is revealed behind the annexe leading to a vegetable garden, two sheds and three greenhouses.

Situation

Solley Farm House is set in the pretty village of Worth, a peaceful rural community in East Kent surrounded by open countryside yet close to coastal towns and historic centres. The village offers a traditional church and welcoming inns, while more extensive amenities are available in nearby Sandwich, with its independent shops, cafés and restaurants, and in the popular seaside town of Deal, known for its vibrant seafront and boutique shopping. Canterbury, with its wider cultural, educational and retail facilities, is also within easy reach.

The area is well served by schooling, including local provision in Sandwich and Deal, and an excellent choice of independent and grammar schools in Canterbury, including The King’s School, St Edmund’s, Kent College, Barton Court Grammar School, and Simon Langton Grammar Schools.

Despite its tranquil setting, Worth is well connected: rail services from Thanet Parkway, Sandwich and Deal provide High-Speed links to London St Pancras, while the A258 and A2 offer convenient road access to Dover, Canterbury and beyond.
