Thurnham Court is an outstanding country house, Listed Grade II, dating in part from the early 17th century. The earlier wing shows evidence of the original constructions with irregular stone work clearly visible and, additionally, there is some significant timber framing on the second floor. The signature of Thurnham Court is its unusual crow stepped gabling that has been replicated on the house, which was significantly extended in the late 19th/early 20th centuries. The house sits at the end of an impressive long drive and is surrounded by beautiful park-like grounds. It provides excellent family accommodation with generous entertaining rooms and a self-contained annexe to the rear that could be incorporated into the main body of the house.

The drawing room is a lovely double aspect room with a cast iron fireplace. The large farmhouse kitchen at the heart of the house is fitted with a range of dark American red oak floor cupboards, and a deep fireplace houses a four oven/two hob Aga.

The master bedroom is an extremely generous room enjoying views over the paddocks, and has an en-suite bathroom. There are five further good sized bedrooms on the first floor and two attic rooms. The Annexe is approached via a separate door to the rear of the property.

Thurnham court is approached over a long private gravel drive via electronically operated wrought iron gates set within wide brick pillars. The drive leads up to the main house and continues round to a large parking and turning area to the back of the house, where there is a lovely Victorian coach house/garage. This comprises three garages and stairs up to a storeroom over.

The grounds are a magnificent feature of this lovely Kentish property, having been laid out over a number of centuries with some outstanding examples of specimen trees. The main area of garden is to the south and east, and is a wide expanse of lawn with a ha-ha running along the full width giving directly onto a lovely meadow.

There is a swimming pool with a brick paved surround and a wired grass tennis court. In one corner is a walled garden, within which is set an all-weather manège. Adjacent to the manège is a stable yard, a four-bay open-fronted building with two loose boxes, and two further loose boxes in a secondary range. There is a horse walker.
