Full Property Description

Hillside Farm is a truly special and historic country estate, formerly the home of Peter Firmin, the celebrated creator of Bagpuss, where the iconic BBC television series was created and filmed.

Set within approximately 6.12 acres of beautiful gardens and grounds, this remarkable property is offered for sale with no onward chain and offers an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a characterful farmhouse together with an impressive Kentish barn, stables and a collection of period outbuildings, all nestled within its own private setting just two miles from Canterbury city centre.

The farmhouse itself has been a much loved family home for many years and retains a wealth of original character and charm throughout. The accommodation centres around a substantial four bedroom farmhouse, largely untouched and rich in period features including fireplaces, tiled floors, picture rails and original internal doors. A particularly striking addition is the magnificent oak framed vaulted first floor sitting room; an exceptional and atmospheric space that perfectly complements the home’s historic character while creating a wonderful area for entertaining and family living.

Beyond the farmhouse, the estate continues to impress with a detached Kentish barn, traditional stables and a brick-built period workshop, all surrounded by mature gardens, woodland, paddocks and a large pond, creating an idyllic semi-rural setting with enormous lifestyle appeal. The barn may offer potential for conversion, subject to the necessary planning permissions, while the paddock to the front could also provide future development opportunities, again subject to planning consent.

Prospective purchasers should note that part of the land is subject to an overage - further details will be available from the agent.
