Overview

Tucked away in a beautiful corner of the Kent Downs National Landscape, Winterdown Farm combines complete privacy with exceptional convenience. Approached by a long private drive and surrounded by its own gardens, paddocks and woodland, it enjoys far-reaching views across unspoilt countryside while remaining remarkably accessible to Canterbury, Folkestone and London.

“It is a home that feels wonderfully removed from the world, without ever feeling remote.”

Thoughtfully transformed over the past quarter of a century, Winterdown feels both elegant and welcoming. Originally part of the Henbury Manor Estate until its dispersal in 1929, the property carries a quiet sense of heritage that underpins its generous proportions and established grounds.

Natural light fills the principal rooms, each positioned to capture views through tall glazed doors and expansive windows. A striking reception hall introduces the home's bright, airy character. A handsome dual-aspect sitting room features a southwest-facing bay window and open fireplace, while a bespoke study provides a peaceful retreat. At the heart of the home is the impressive 24ft orangery — wrapped in glass, it flows into the open-plan breakfast kitchen and serves equally well for family life and entertaining. Period character sits comfortably alongside contemporary improvements, creating a home ready to enjoy from day one.

Upstairs, a galleried landing connects four beautifully presented bedrooms and three bathrooms. The principal suite offers a southwest-facing aspect and custom-fitted dressing room.

This property has 4 acres of land.
