#TheGardenOfEngland
Rural Property with Over 8 Acres – Extensive Renovation Required.
Situated on the rural edge of Charing, alongside the A20, this property includes over 8 acres of pastureland and offers potential for a smallholding or equestrian use.
The three-bedroom house, believed to date from the 1930s–1950s, requires significant renovation and may involve structural works (see below). Due to the property’s condition, buyers should be aware that securing a mortgage may be difficult, and it is likely to appeal primarily to cash buyers or those with specialist renovation finance.
Set in a mainly lawned garden, the property offers scope for full refurbishment or potential replacement, subject to planning consent.
(The land is let to a local farmer until September 2026)
Freehold - Council Tax Band E
Newcourt is located adjoining the A20 on the outskirts of Charing village. Ashford & Ashford station lie to the southeast where there are connections to the M20 motorway and regular high speed trains to Ebbsfleet, Stratford & St Pancras. Faversham is to the north with a connection to the M2 motorway and access to high speed trains at Faversham Station.
There are local stations in Charing on the Victoria line and Pluckley on the Ashford to Charing Cross line. Canterbury and Maidstone are also within easy reach by car and there is a further motorway connection at Junction 8, near Hollingbourne.
House
The house now requires fairly extensive renovation and modernisation or even complete replacement, subject to planning. There is evidence of movement with some internal and external cracking, so interested parties will have to fully understand the implications of this before submitting an offer.
Outside/Gardens
There are mainly lawned gardens to all sides of the house with potential.
Land
The plan, which is for identification purposes only, shows the external boundaries of the house and land. All the land is pasture which has not been farmed or grazed recently. Access is through an access gate off the A20 in the south western corner. There is a water trough close to the entrance gate.
