Barham House is a handsome Grade II listed property dating from the 18th century most recently used as a care home. Planning consent has recently been granted to convert the building into two large dwellings.
Planning information can be found on Canterbury City Council’s planning portal under ref: Ca/24/00817.
There is a range of magnificent reception rooms across the front of the house. Beautiful tall sash windows and high ceilings remain as evidence of its fine period heritage. The rooms include a 39ft drawing room with elegant cornicing, fireplace and a stunning bay window. There is also a generous sitting room with a handsome fireplace, a conservatory and a formal dining room with two large bay windows.
Additionally, the ground floor has a library, an office and a kitchen and breakfast room. Towards the rear, across the two wings of the house, there are eight bedrooms, seven of which have en suite shower rooms
Two staircases and a lift provide access to the first floor, where there are a further 12 bedrooms, five of which have en suite cloakrooms. The second floor is arranged as a self-contained apartment.
The property has several stores and plant rooms, as well as a cellar with a boiler room, store rooms and a wine cellar.
Building plots
In addition, planning consent has been granted for the construction of two additional detached four-bedroom dwellings of 2,500 sq ft each on the site. These are available in addition if desired.
Agent's Note: The building plots will not be sold separately prior to Barham House.
The house is situated in a picturesque setting at the heart of the village and close to the church.
The gardens are laid to lawn and bordered by established hedgerows and mature trees with a large drive and parking area, providing ample parking for the four proposed houses.
The new build locations are to the north-west of the plot.
Situated in the Kent Downs National Landscape to the south-east of Canterbury, Barham has a thriving village community, with a local shop, a public house a village hall and a primary school, as well as the award-winning Simpson’s Wine Estate. Nearby Aylesham offers a choice of further amenities, including a small supermarket. Canterbury is within easy reach and provides a wide range of educational, leisure and shopping facilities.
The property is well placed for road and rail links, with the A2 less than a mile away and linking to the M2 and wider motorway network. Canterbury offers two stations with stopping services to London Victoria and Charing Cross and access to the High-Speed service to St Pancras (with journey times from 54 minutes). The area has good access to the Continent via Eurotunnel and the Port of Dover.
