ALLENS FARM:
A UNIQUE & FLEXIBLE LOCATION
15 mins from M20/M25, 30 miles from Central London
A 28 acre Kent farm, with a wide range of facilities. Quirky farmhouse with original features. Funky new oast apartment with circular jacuzzi bath, Modern Oak office/green room, stables & farm buildings. Good parking for unit base. 3 phase electricity. Ancient cherry orchard & Cobnut plats. Quiet with unobstructed views over the countryside, not under a flight path! Most recently, in 2023, we hosted filming for theITV drama as the interior of Mr Bates House in Bates v The Post Office.
WE ARE FLEXIBLE & FRIENDLY, KENT BORN & BRED, ALWAYS HAPPY TO HELP...
We are relaxed & helpful owners, who enjoy being used as a location :)
ITV, BBC & SKY have used various aspects of the farm & love the versatility. The farmhouse has an unusual aspect with external doors on 3 sides, so can look like a small cottage, but with a spacious & free flowing interior, or, a larger dwelling.

Different spaces...
On the site there are a lot of contradictions and contrast.
• The old farmhouse is basic, quirky & rustic, a four bed house which until recently was totally off grid & unconverted. It has unique roof conversion since the pointed oast roofs were knocked off by a doodlebug in the 2nd world war.
• Octagonal 6m garden room with woodburner - as a bespoke design it is the the only one in the UK - built during lockdown for a bar in Shoreditch, & purchased on ebay.
• Self-contained newly converted open plan modern oast apartment.
• Modern oak barn office.
• Stables
• Agricultural barn
• Ancient cherry orchard, apple orchard, cobnut platts.
Lots of parking, very quiet, no houses in view, not under flightpath etc etc!
