#TheGardenOfEngland
A former small grass farm where time appears to have stood still in recent years offering great potential. The property comprises what is believed to be mid 17th Century 3 bedroom farmhouse, traditional brick outbuildings, farmbuildings and pastureland with views over the Elham Valley.
In all about 16.70 acres
Guide Price: £700,000 to £750,000
Background
The property was purchased by the sellers family in the 1920’s and has not been on the market since that time. The farm appears to have been a small dairy farm at some point and more recently has been farmed with sheep and cattle.
Planning Authority
All enquiries relating to the planning potential of the property should be directed to Folkestone & Hythe District Council ().
The Farmhouse
Is believed to have been built in the 1700’s and is south-east facing. The house is principally 2 storey but with a single storey offshoot to the northern elevation. It is understood that the first floor of the house was extended in the early 1900’s when the catslide roof was removed. The property now requires relatively significant modernisation and refurbishment.
Gardens
To the rear of the house is a good size garden area which has been overgrown until recently, this is mainly former lawn with a number of fruit trees. To the front of the house, on the opposite side of the drive, is a small garden area, part of which is now fenced off as a small paddock. At the end of this close to Boyke Lane is a Brick & Block Outbuilding, next to the well.
Outbuildings
The following mainly brick outbuildings are close to the farmhouse and are shown on the floorplans attached. They may have potential for change of use to an annex, holiday let or similar.
a) Former Coal Store with old WC, with former garage to side.
b) Workshop/Shed, of brick construction divided into 3 parts.
c) Small Barn, of brick & part block construction with a lean to building to rear.
Farmbuildings
These are located within the farmland in a slightly elevated position and comprise:
1) Pole Barn about 6.6m x 6.5m, enclosed on 3 sides.
2) Pole Barn about 13m x 4.5m
3) Hay Barn about 13.80m x 6.10m, concrete frame, enclosed on 3 sides.
4) Implement Building about 10.7m x 5.2m, timber frame & iron clad.
5) Sheep/Cattle Building about 12.20m x 9.15m, modern building of steel frame.
6) There are a number of small poultry buildings with 2 small paddock areas to the rear of the small brick barn and to the side of the Hay Barn.
Farmland
The land comprises a single block of pastureland divided into 5 separate grazing fields and paddocks. The land has a south -easterly slope from its highest point down to the Elham/Lyminge Road. There is also frontage along the south western boundary to Boyke Lane. The only access into the property is off Boyke Lane in front of the farmhouse. There are one or two water troughs on the land which are fed by the farmhouse supply.
Soil Type/Land Grade
The Cranfield Soil and Agrifood Institute Soilscapes Map classifies the soils as “freely
draining lime-rich loamy soils. The ground is well suited to spring and autumn sown cereals
and other crops including grass”.
Footpaths
There are no footpaths or other public rights of way crossing the property.
Riding
The local lanes, particularly up Boyke Lane towards Rhodes Minnis, are generally very quiet and perfect for hacking. There are several Toll Rides in the surrounding area, particularly in West Wood at nearby Rhodes Minnis, for further details the TROT website (tollrides.org.uk).
Plans/Acreage
The plan and acreage quoted on these particulars are both for identification purposes only.
Services
Mains water, electricity and drainage. There is also an old well in the garden area opposite the house. None of the services or appliances have been tested.
