Description

South Lodge Farm is a substantial equestrian property which occupies an idyllic rural setting, off a country lane,1.3 miles to the south west of the village of Stelling Minnis with its post office/stores, primary school, village hall and historic church. The cathedral city of Canterbury is 10.7 miles away with an extensive range of shops, leisure facilities and mainline station with services to London and the coast.

The property comprises a detached Grade II listed farmhouse, dating from the 17th century with a later 18th or early 19th century facade, which sits within its own pretty enclosed gardens with decked area, enhanced by mature wisteria. Internally, on the ground floor there is a beamed, split-level sitting room with engineered oak flooring and wood burning stove, a breakfast room with French doors to the decked terrace, a fitted kitchen with Leisure Cuisinemaster, an integral dishwasher and microwave, a side hall linking through to a utility room with space for white goods, a shower room, a separate WC and bedroom three. On the first floor there are two further bedrooms, one enjoying a double aspect and the other have a walk in cupboard.

Across the drive from the farmhouse is the outstanding, curtilage listed thatched barn, which has been converted and completed in 2024. Featuring a mixture of reclaimed and new oak joinery and hardwood sealed unit glazed windows, it benefits from porcelain tiled flooring with zoned underfloor heating and individual thermostatic controls to the ground floor and radiators to the upper floor. Inside, there is a stunning 42ft open plan kitchen/dining/sitting room, with the kitchen area to one end, having stylish cupboards and a central island, appliances include two electric ovens, a dishwasher, two wine coolers and a downdraft extractor unit. The utility room has space for further appliances and there is access to a boiler room with pressurised water system. Completing the ground floor is the sleek modern bathroom and a glazed link which leads to a study. Access can be gained from here to space saver stairs which lead to a substantial room over the open bay garaging beneath. A reclaimed oak staircase leads to the first floor gallery off which are two attractive bedrooms, that mirror each other, with exposed beams, old ironmongery and en suite shower rooms.

The equestrian facilities are centred around an American-style barn, where there are eight stables, two offices, a tea room, WC, two tack rooms with steps leading to a store room above. Adjacent to the barn is an Atcost barn which has been divided in two by livestock gates. There are also two storage units and two further stables are located to one side. The fields have been divided to create nineteen paddocks, including four turn out paddocks with shelters, and all with water connected. Behind the barns is a 60m x 20m floodlit menage with rubber tyre surface. There is a further field which is designated as agricultural land and completing this excellent package are two fields and an area of woodland on the north east side of the lane and a strip of woodland to the south.
