The gardens and grounds of Misling Farm are a real treat. Immediately adjoining the house are the formal gardens with wide lawns and a series of “rooms” created from clipped hedging. Within these gardens are a number of seating areas and raised beds. Cottage borders around the house are filled with colourful flowering annuals and shrubs giving year round interest.
Beyond the formal area of garden is a more parklike setting with specimen trees. This in turn leads on to the paddocks.
The wooded entrance creates a magical approach to the house and the ancient pond adds to the romance and charm of the surroundings. Beyond the gardens is an area of woodland, and to one corner of the garden is a large and useful barn. The gardens back directly onto farmland and enjoy lovely long distant views over the unspoilt countryside.
The property is situated in the Kent Downs/AONB between Elmsted and Stelling Minnis, within easy reach of the old Roman road of Stone Street, which runs from Canterbury towards the coast at Hythe. Stelling Minnis offers a well-regarded primary school, a popular inn, a local shop and a post office. Fresh produce is available direct from several local farm shops. The nearby villages of Bodsham and Stowting both have primary schools. The Spong Wood Nature Reserve and Lyminge Forest are close by.
A more comprehensive range of facilities can be found in Canterbury which provides an excellent shopping centre, theatre and cultural interests as well as highly regarded schooling in both the private and state sectors, various colleges and two universities. The High Speed train service to London St Pancras runs from Ashford International and Canterbury West in around 36 and 56 minutes respectively. There is good access to the Continent.

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
