The Grade II listed property boasts a wealth of character features, with beams galore, exposed brickwork and a lovely fireplace to snuggle up in front of on those cold winter nights. The layout offers the best of both worlds with interconnecting spaces such as the sitting room with snug area that in turn leads to the kitchen and options for privacy with the separate second reception room that could be a formal dining room or family room. There is a useful cellar utility area off of the kitchen and a large entrance porch that is perfect for storing boots and coats and to keep the property warm and cosy inside. The main bedroom has an en-suite and and dressing room and is situated on the first floor along with a further double bedroom which has a walk-in wardrobe that could double as a nursery or study area and large family bathroom whilst the second floor has two further bedrooms along with a captains bunk bed on the landing which would be great for sleepovers, all of which have far reaching countryside views. The mature plot is in the region of 0.34 Acres (not measured) and has different areas of garden, a large gated gravelled driveway and a number of useful outbuildings that are currently used as artists studios and a sculpture studio in the Forge which has had phase 1 electricity installed for the kiln. You could, of course, look to convert these buildings to other uses subject to the usual consents being obtained. We recommend an early viewing to avoid disappointment on this beautifully situated home.

Owners Remarks: It was love at first sight when we viewed Martins Farmhouse 35 years ago and it has fulfilled its promise ever since. Aware that we were simply the custodians of this lovely 17th century home it has been a work in progress caring for it, and we are still enamoured of it as much as ever. It has always felt inviting giving off a friendly vibe and making us feel safe and sheltered. It has an enduring beauty and charm all its own.Martins Farmhouse is located in a beautiful rural location sheltering between the Greensand Ridge and the River Beult in its own mild micro climate benefitting the surrounding farmland with fertile soil and lush productivity making gardening here a joy. Here you can hear the birds sing it is so quiet, have spectacular views of gorgeous countryside from Martins Farmhouse s windows , and count shooting stars in the night skies free from urban lighting.It s not been all plain sailing but the builders of Martins Farmhouse knew a thing or two. We have survived hurricane and storms better than most. The worst flooding of surrounding areas left us secure and high and dry. The worst snows confining us from leaving the village for days saw is snug and warm with roaring fires.Raising our family of three here was also a wonderful experience with the freedom of a safe environment and plenty of countryside to walk and play in. The children attended the Hunton Playgroup, then the Hunton Primary School and on to the excellent Maidstone Grammar Schools.Hunton is a small but friendly community with a vibrant social calendar focused around the hub of St.Mary s Church, the Village Hall, Hunton School and the resident run Village Club with a myriad of activities and clubs should one so wish. One can engage with what s on offer or not but there is always help or privacy as one s choice.And now with enormous regret, with the children flown, needs must and it s time to go. Given better circumstances I d not leave but I ll take a wealth of happy memories with me. Lucky are those who next take on the guardianship of Martins Farmhouse.
