The possibility to use these three dwellings separately, or to combine the barn and the farmhouse more closely, creates a great all round package set amongst admirable scenery, -- Adam Howell

A combination of a special barn conversion, a detached traditional farmhouse, and a further annexe building in a magnificent countryside setting.

In all 1.2 acres approximately.


Situated in a quintessential countryside lane and approached via a private driveway, Watersheet Farm presents an opportunity for multi generational families seeking to reside comfortably in quality individual dwellings amongst the security of one environment, or perhaps to self-manage and produce a meaningful income whilst enjoying life in an idyllic position.

Features of note include the superb barn converted in 2019 with double height vaulted ceilings in the main living space and an abundance of exposed beams and timbers, there is underfloor heating across the ground floor and other fixtures and fittings very much in keeping with the style of the property.

As you might expect, the main house exudes warmth and character, with a large inglenook fireplace and wood burner, exposed brickwork, original latch doors, and of course tremendous views across open countryside.

The annexe cottage is a single storey dwelling to the rear of the farm, another charming weatherboarded building with a sitting room, kitchen, bedroom, and a bathroom.

For those seeking to combine the farmhouse and the barn into one larger home, planning was granted by Ashford Borough Council under reference 15/01591/AS and initial works were undertaken to begin linking the two homes.

The pretty village of Egerton has a Parish Church, Local Shop, Garage, Primary School and an award-winning Millenium Village Hall, whilst further facilities are available in the nearby village of Pluckley including a mainline station.

There are many interconnecting footpaths to enjoy hours of scenic walks through and around the village, which is surrounded by unspoilt countryside, it is within easy reach of Ashford being just over 8 miles away, where you’ll find many shops and eateries in addition to Ashford International Railway Station, offering high-speed services into London’s St Pancras.

The M20 is also nearby providing easy road access to London and Kent’s coastal towns. A network of pretty villages surrounds this property, all with their own individual charm, with the most well serviced being Leham, Pluckley and Charing. These three villages in particular have train stations providing with links to London stations, Canterbury and the coastline via Ashford International.
