Full Property Description

Grade II* listed on account of its important history and interesting architecture, The Deanery is an exceptional and intriguing home. The property has strong ecclesiastical connections and was for many years the country residence of the Deans of Canterbury Cathedral. The Georgian house seen today stems from a major restoration that took place in about 1738 and incorporates many features from the much earlier house on the site, including the walls of the Great Hall (built in 1303) and the crownposts from the roof of the solar (built in 1394).

The house is approached over a gravel driveway that wraps around the converted brick barn and arrives at the main entrance, which is framed by the elegant eighteenth century six pillared porch.

Outside:
To the front of the house, lawns interspersed with mature specimen trees are divided by the gravel driveway, which continues past the house; a rear drive returns to Parish Road. The more formal gardens lie to the rear of the house and are enclosed by traditional brick walls and high fencing.

Deanery Cottage:
Deanery Cottage, formerly a brick barn, has recently been renovated and is presented to a high standard. Initially arranged as two cottages, these have been combined, and are currently used together but could be re-divided, subject to any necessary consents.

There is a small area of garden to the front.

Location:
The property is situated on the rural outskirts of the popular residential village of Chartham in an extremely accessible location. The village has a good selection of amenities including local shops, primary school, doctor’s surgery, public house and railway station with frequent services to London and Ashford International. The M2/A2 is accessed to the north.

Canterbury, Ashford and Faversham all offer an array of widely regarded shops, leisure and recreational facilities, and the immediate area offers a good selection of schooling in both state and private sectors.
