Step into a Timeless Country Estate: Delmonden Farm Awaits!

Imagine a life where centuries of history whisper through exposed beams, where sprawling grounds invite adventure, and where the potential to create your dream lifestyle is as vast as the horizon. Welcome to Delmonden Farm, an exceptional Grade II Listed farmhouse nestled in a coveted, tranquil corner of the Weald of Kent, yet surprisingly accessible to modern conveniences.

Dating back to the 15th Century, this isn't just a house; it's a living piece of history. Trace the echoes of Tudor life in the original decorative brickwork and gather around grand open fireplaces that have warmed generations. The farmhouse seamlessly blends this rich heritage with the comforts of modern living, offering a truly unique sanctuary.

Beyond the main residence, discover a charming, self-contained annexe – perfect for guests, multi-generational living, or even generating income. Picture morning coffee overlooking the meticulously maintained walled garden, a testament to the care and love this property has enjoyed.

But Delmonden Farm offers more than just a beautiful home; it's a lifestyle. Dive into the potential of the inviting swimming pool (ready for your personal touch and modernisation), challenge friends to a match on the all-weather tennis court, or embrace the equestrian life with stables and a professionally sized menage.

For those with entrepreneurial spirit or an eye for future development, a substantial collection of well-maintained ancillary, agricultural, and commercial outbuildings present a wealth of opportunities. Imagine the possibilities – from thriving businesses to potential residential conversions (subject to planning permission), the canvas is yours to command. The property's history even includes a lapsed permission for 9 residential units, hinting at the exciting future that could unfold.

Encompassing approximately 85 acres of picturesque pasture and enchanting woodland, Delmonden Farm offers breathtaking views across the iconic Weald of Kent. This is a place where you can truly escape the everyday, connect with nature, and create a legacy.
