A delightful 17th century farmhouse that is on the market for the first time in 50 years
Surrounded by 25 acres of Kent countryside and brimming with possibilities, Stone Hill Farm is a bewitching property that is sure to entice buyers looking to create a dream home.


On the market for the first time in 50 years, Stone Hill Farm, outside the village of Sellindge, is a picture-perfect Grade II-listed Queen Anne house in need of updating and modernising.
The front door opens to a generous entrance hall with rooms leading off, which boast good proportions and historic details, including a large inglenook fireplace. Upstairs, over two floors, are five bedrooms and three bathrooms.
The house handily comes with a one-bedroom cottage and a triple garage. Outside, gardens and land extend to 25 acres and include a tennis court (which could do with re-surfacing), pastureland and paddocks.
Ashford mainline station has services to London St Pancras (journeys take from 36 mins).
Stone Hill Farm is currently on the market via Strutt & Parker with a guide price of £1.75 million — see more pictures or enquire with the agent for further details.
