There's lots to like about this former farm on a quiet country lane - James Hickman, Rural Property
#TheGardenOfEngland
A former dairy farm set in a delightful rural location on a quiet country lane between Egerton & Headcorn and comprising a detached 4 bedroom former farmhouse with a separate detached annexe cottage, former farm buildings including 3 barns and grazing paddocks.
The sellers are keen microlight enthusiasts and have principally used the property as a base for their hobby with theirs and their friend’s microlights being kept in the former farm buildings. They have also had use of 2 airstrips belonging to neighbouring landowners. One is directly behind the farm and the other is on land opposite.
About 4.60 acres
