Munks Farm is a charming and spacious Grade II Listed farmhouse dating, we believe, from the late 17^th Century with later additions. The property offers beautifully presented accommodation arranged over four floors with a fascinating interior with numerous period features including a wealth of beams and timbers, two inglenook fireplaces and offering very well proportioned bright rooms. There is also the added advantage of current planning consent for a utility room to the rear of the property and for a games room / studio above the double garage.

Munks Farm is situated approximately 1 ½ miles from the centre of the sought after historic and pretty village of Smarden which has local facilities including a primary school, butcher, post office and newsagent, public houses and Church. The nearby village of Headcorn (3 miles distant) has additional shopping facilities including Sainsbury’s Local, bakers, butchers, hardware store, dentist and doctors surgery, plus mainline station with services to Cannon Street and Charing Cross (approximately just over the hour for commuter services) and to Ashford, Canterbury and the Kent coast.  More comprehensive facilities are available in the towns of Tenterden (8 miles) and Ashford (12 miles).
