Lot 1| Adisham Court Farm, Pond Hill, Adisham, Canterbury, Kent CT3

A striking late 17th century farmhouse

Description
Lot 1 | Adisham Court Farmhouse

The farmhouse at Adisham Court is a striking late 17th century brick-built farmhouse with distinctive Dutch gables, recognised today as a Grade II Listed example of Kentish rural architecture. The farmhouse would benefit from modernisation but is presented in good order throughout, with generously proportioned rooms, good ceiling heights and retained period features.

Constructed in red brick, it stands two storeys high with an additional attic level, giving it the tall, elegant profile typical of prosperous farmhouses of its era.

The accommodation extends to approximately 3,879 sq ft and is arranged over two floors. The ground floor currently comprises three reception rooms, a conservatory, a kitchen/ breakfast room, two pantries, a utility room/boot room, and one ensuite, together with two further family bathrooms and a separate WC.

The third floor also includes two unconverted rooms totalling 1,926 sq ft, offering potential for additional accommodation, subject to the required consents.

Outside, the immediate gardens extend to the front rear and side, backing onto the farmland and are mainly laid to lawn with herbaceous borders. There is a partially walled garden to the south east of the farmhouse, which contains a kitchen garden and orchard and is a particular feature of the gardens.
Just a short distance from the farmhouse and in the gardens is a brick-built building, known as The Well House, which incorporates a shower room and has potential for alternative uses ancillary to the farmhouse, subject to the necessary consents.

To the east of the farmhouse, and accessed off the driveway, there is an array of buildings including an attractive traditional two storey former granary, an open fronted barn used for machinery and vehicle storage and a more modern enclosed farm building currently serving as a workshop and general store. These buildings lie adjacent to the farmhouse, forming an attractive courtyard with ample hardstanding for parking; they offer practical space for day today living while retaining a traditional farmstead feel. The old granary, in particular, is an attractive and characterful structure with potential for alternative uses ancillary to the farmhouse, subject to the necessary consents.

There are grazing paddocks beyond the farmhouse and a further substantial brick built stable building overlooks one of the paddocks, adding further flexibility for equestrian use or other ancillary purposes, subject to the necessary consents.

Additional Info
Set within the rolling countryside, Adisham Court Farm has long been part of east Kent’s agricultural landscape. The parish of Adisham is recorded in the Domesday Book as Edesham and has been known for centuries for its fertile chalk soils and open fields.

Farming at Adisham Court Farm is entirely arable, producing rotation of crops such as wheat, barley, oats, linseed and, in alternate years peas, beans, and oilseed rape. In more recent years, the farm has embraced environmental practices having been entered into Natural England’s Environmental Stewardship Scheme, enhancing biodiversity and supporting sustainable land management.

Today, Adisham Court Farm represents a blend of long-standing agricultural heritage and forward looking farming, rooted firmly in the landscape that has sustained the village of Adisham for more than a thousand years.
