Charlton Farm is a ring fenced livestock/arable farm set in an outstanding location on virtually level land below the escarpment between Linton and Sutton Valence in Kent. Whilst enjoying a relatively private rural location, there is convenient and easy access to nearby Maidstone with its connections to the M20 motorway and to Staplehurst mainline railway station only 3 miles to the south.

The sale of Charlton Farm presents a rare opportunity to purchase a substantial residential farm with the main farmstead located central to the land, along a private driveway. The farm buildings comprise a mix of traditional and modern farm buildings, some presenting potential development opportunities.

The farmland extends to some 206 acres/83.36 hectares located in three blocks either side of Lower Farm Road. It comprises a series of easily managed pasture paddocks, divided by established hedges and fencing.

The Grade II Listed farmhouse dates back to the 15th century with later alterations and a part 19th century façade. The house is of part timber frame construction with part having exposed framing and plaster and render above the brick based ground floor. Part of the fascia is tile hung and the house has a plain tile roof.

It has a good sized garden which includes a garden shed, kitchen garden and lawned areas.

The pretty detached Cottage is of brick construction with weatherboarded elevations under a tiled roof, offering family accommodation.
