Location

Mereworth is an attractive rural village situated in a valley within the Metropolitan Green Belt and featuring several historic Grade I listed buildings of historical interest including Mereworth Castle, St Lawrence's Church and Yotes Court. It remains a largely agricultural area with long associations in the areas of fruit and hop growing and is home to Hugh Lowe farms, a major supplier of strawberries (and raspberries) to Wimbledon. More recently much of the surrounding area has been planted under vine, with local vineyards including the Mereworth Winery and Yotes Court Vineyard, both of which have fantastic cellar doors to visit.

Mereworth has a highly regarded primary school. The property is located on the fringes of the historic market town of West Malling which has a mainline railway station and a variety of boutique shops, cafes, restaurants and country pubs. For more extensive amenities Maidstone and Tonbridge town centres are approximately eight miles distant from the property and offer highly regarded primary, secondary and private schooling. The M20 motorway network can be easily accessed and offers links to London and the coast.
