Little Munday – A Characterful Home on Historic Lambden Road

Little Munday is quietly positioned along Lambden Road, a picturesque country lane that meanders through the gently rolling landscape just outside Pluckley village. Historically part of the wider Lambden estate, the road is anchored by Lambden House, a Grade II listed manor dating back to the 17th century and long associated with the influential Dering family. The area’s heritage is reflected in its architecture, mature hedgerows, and the timeless rhythm of rural life.

Location Highlights: 

Pluckley Station : Approximately 1 mile from Little Munday, offering direct rail services to London and Ashford

Pluckley Village Centre : Just 1 mile-away, with essential amenities and historic charm.

Pluckley : One of Kent’s Most Desirable and Storied Villages

Reputed to be England’s most haunted village (as famously noted by the Guinness Book of Records in 1988), Pluckley’s tales of spectral monks, phantom coaches, and ghostly apparitions continue to draw curious visitors and paranormal enthusiasts from far and wide.

Yet beyond the intrigue, Pluckley offers a deeply rooted sense of history and community. Recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as “Pluchelei,” it once rivalled Ashford in prominence, with Roman roads and villa remnants nearby at Little Chart hinting at its ancient significance. The village church of St Nicholas, with its 900-year-old spire and the Dering Chapel, stands as a testament to centuries of local legacy and architectural grace.

Pluckley’s cinematic appeal was immortalised in The Darling Buds of May, filmed here and starring David Jason and Catherine Zeta-Jones—adding a nostalgic, pastoral charm that still resonates today.

The village offers a well-rounded lifestyle with essential amenities including a post office, general store, butchers, and a farm shop. Dining is characterful and refined: The Dering Arms, once a hunting lodge, is now renowned for its seafood, while The Black Horse gastro pub delivers hearty fare in a cosy, historic setting.

Community life thrives through active tennis, cricket, and football clubs, alongside gardening, music, and choir groups. The surrounding countryside is a walker’s paradise, with scenic trails along the Greensand Way and Stour Valley Walk offering breathtaking views and tranquil escapes.

Families benefit from a well-regarded Church of England primary school (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted), with access to excellent secondary and grammar schools in Ashford, plus prestigious independent options across Kent.

Transport links are superb. Pluckley station offers direct services to London, while Ashford International (under 7 miles away) provides high-speed rail to the capital in just 38 minutes. Junction 9 of the M20 ensures swift road access to the wider motorway network.

Nearby, the Cinque Port town of Tenterden and Ashford’s bustling centre offer a full suite of shopping and leisure facilities, including the McArthur Glen Designer Outlet, supermarkets, banks, and restaurants.
