The Farmhouse
The attractive farmhouse is Grade II listed (List Entry 1362968) and the owners believe it is one of the oldest houses in Woodchurch village. The house is a traditional Kent farmhouse which displays a wealth of period features and character and although the house has been partially refurbished and modernised, further renovation and modernisation work is still required.

Little Barn lies just to the south of the farmhouse and comprises a nicely located holiday let providing deceptively spacious accommodation on one level that enjoys a very pleasant outlook over the surrounding landscape.
*Non-Domestic Rates are payable. The current rateable value is 49.9p for small businesses which means that the rates for 25/26 Tax Year are approximately £1646.
