The Property
The property was originally built as a cottage in the early 1960’s and was then dramatically extended and refurbished in about 2015 and now provides high quality accommodation suitable for a family. The extensive photos show the standard of the finish within the individual rooms.
See 'Planning' below for details of the Agricultural Occupancy Condition (AOC).
Outside/Gardens
The house is approached through a five bar gate leading to an extensive gravel drive with turning circle and parking for several cars and vehicles.
The rear garden has a large terrace immediately to the rear of the house with mainly lawned gardens beyond, which are surrounded by mature fencing. There are more secluded paved areas to each side of the property which are perfect for alfresco dining.
Barn
To the side of the garden is the very pretty Traditional Barn which is felt to have potential for conversion to an annexe, a holiday let, home office or gym, subject to planning.

The sellers do not own any of the adjoining land or buildings.
Planning
1) As stated above the property was originally granted planning consent as a Farm Bailiff’s Cottage and as such is sold subject to an Agricultural Occupancy Condition which was imposed when the property was granted planning consent by the Rural District of Swale on 12th April 1962 under planning reference NX/9/62/94/6827.
Planning Condition Number (IV) of that planning consent states ‘’the occupation of the dwelling shall be limited to persons employed, or last employed, locally in agriculture as defined in Section 119(1) of the Town & Country Planning Act 1947, or in forestry, and the dependents of such persons.
2) ‘’Agriculture’’ is generally defined in the Town & Country Planning Acts as: ‘’horticulture, fruit growing, seed growing, dairy farming, the breeding and keeping of livestock (including any creature kept for the production of food, wool, skins or fur, or for the purpose of its use in the farming of land), the use of land as grazing land, meadow land, osier land, market gardens and nursery grounds, and the use of land for woodlands where that use is ancillary to the farming of land for other agricultural purposes, and “agricultural” shall be construed accordingly.’’

Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s

The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on July 4, 2023
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
