Description
Property Description: Guide Price £1,750,000 - £2,000,000. Set within approximately 12 acres of gardens, paddocks and established grounds, The Old Rectory is an exceptional Grade II Listed country residence that combines period character with remarkable versatility. Currently arranged as two independent homes beneath one roof, the property provides an increasingly rare opportunity for multigenerational living, equestrian buyers, home business operators or those seeking a substantial country residence with income potential, subject to any necessary permissions.
Approached via a sweeping driveway, the house immediately creates an impressive first impression, framed by mature trees and surrounded by open countryside. The grounds extend far beyond the formal gardens to include grazing paddocks, equestrian facilities and a collection of useful outbuildings, creating a property that is equally suited to family life and rural pursuits.
The accommodation extends to more than 6,500 square feet, including the outbuildings, and has evolved over time into two self-contained living spaces whilst retaining the option for a future owner to reconfigure the layout to suit their own requirements. Two kitchens, two staircases, five reception rooms, eight bedrooms and four bath/shower rooms provide exceptional flexibility, whether accommodating an extended family, creating independent guest accommodation or providing dedicated work-from-home space.
The principal reception rooms are generous in scale and full of period character, with exposed timbers, fireplaces and views across the surrounding grounds. Multiple living areas allow family members to spread out comfortably, while the kitchens and dining spaces provide practical everyday living for large households or dual occupancy.
The bedroom accommodation is equally impressive, with eight bedrooms arranged across the upper floors, complemented by dressing areas and several bath and shower rooms. The adaptable layout allows rooms to be repurposed as studies, hobby rooms or guest suites depending on individual requirements.
Outside: Externally the property becomes particularly distinctive. The house sits within approximately 12 acres, incorporating gardens, paddocks and established equestrian facilities including stables and a sand school, together with a shepherd’s hut positioned towards the top of the land.
The property also has an extensive collection of detached outbuildings, including a tractor shed, a workshop, a garage, storage areas and a summer house. One of the powered outbuildings is currently used by the vendor as a business workspace.
The scale of the land gives the property strong appeal for buyers with horses, while the range of buildings also creates room for machinery, tack, feed, vehicles and general storage. There is also off-road parking for multiple cars. There is also the option to purchase an additional 8 acres of land, subject to negotiation.
The surrounding countryside creates an attractive backdrop to the house, with open views across the adjoining land and a sense of separation from neighbouring properties. Denton sits between Canterbury and Folkestone, making the setting particularly appealing for those wanting a rural lifestyle while remaining within reach of both. The combination of substantial accommodation, approximately 12 acres and established equestrian infrastructure makes The Old Rectory a rare proposition.
Location: The Old Rectory is situated in the village of Denton, a small and highly regarded village nestled within the beautiful North Downs countryside between Canterbury and Folkestone. Surrounded by rolling farmland, ancient woodland and an extensive network of public footpaths and bridleways, the area is particularly popular with walkers, riders and those seeking a rural lifestyle.
Nearby Wingham, Barham and Elham provide a range of everyday amenities including village shops, pubs, cafés and primary schools, while the Cathedral City of Canterbury is approximately 8 miles away, offering an extensive selection of shopping, restaurants, leisure facilities and highly regarded grammar, state and independent schools.
The area is exceptionally well connected, with the A2 providing direct access towards Canterbury, Dover and the M2, while the nearby M20 links to Ashford, Maidstone and London. High Speed rail services from both Canterbury West and Folkestone West reach London St Pancras in around an hour, making the property well suited to commuters seeking a country home.
