The house is situated within just a couple of miles of the A251 which provides an efficient link with both the M2 motorway (Junction 6), the historic town of Faversham and the thriving market town of Ashford with its International Station (Eurostar) and 38 minute High Speed rail services to London St Pancras. These services are also available from Faversham and Canterbury at slightly greater journey times. The surrounding area is well served by an excellent choice of schools both in the state and independent sectors including grammar schools, and local facilities can be found in the nearby village of Challock and Charing. The surrounding countryside supports a number of leisure pursuits with many walking routes, bridle paths and sporting activities available. Snoadstreet Manor A fine example of a country manor house combining historic character with a handsome and imposing appearance. Despite having 15th Century origins and some fascinating historic character, the accommodation is both practical and flexible having good ceiling heights and plenty of light. The accommodation is arranged over three floors and includes three ground floor reception rooms along with a beautiful first floor morning room which could easily be used as an incredible master bedroom suite of rooms. From the staircase on the way to the second floor is a study with good quality fitted office furniture creating a comfortable home working environment. The second floor suite of rooms could be arranged as an apartment perhaps for a nanny or au pair, if required. Gardens Snoadstreet Manor is approached from the road via a timber five bar gate opening onto a hard driveway leading up to the right hand side of the house with ample space for parking and turning. At the head of the driveway is a detached brick built double garage building and workshop with some old stables. To the right of the driveway is an area of garden beyond which is the paddock (about 1.6 acres). On the opposite side of the drive there are further gardens extending to the very handsome front of the house with further lawns on the opposite side. As the gardens extend away from the house there is a lightly wooded area currently used as a poultry garden. Towards the back of the garden is a further area of trees extending around to a delightful box garden with a very pretty and spacious courtyard ideal for outdoor entertaining/dining. The Land Beyond the gardens to the far right hand side of the house is an adjoining area of paddock or field extending to about 1.6 acres. The land is private and enclosed and could potentially have a new access created to the nearby lane. Services Mains water and electricity are connected. Oil fired central heating/Aga. Private drainage. Directions From the M20 motorway (Junction 9) follow signs towards the A251 in the direction of Faversham. Follow the A251 up onto the North Downs eventually arriving at the roundabout in the village of Challock adjacent to the Halfway House pub. Continue straight over the roundabout and proceed for about 1.5 miles before turning left at the staggered crossroads (opposite the turning for Shottenden) into Faversham Road whereupon the property will be found on the right hand side after about 1 mile. Alternatively, the A251 can be accessed from the M2 motorway (Junction 6). Proceed in the direction of Ashford through the hamlet of North Street passing Sheldwich Church on the left hand side and continue through the hamlets of Badlesmere and Leaveland before turning right at the staggered crossroads (opposite the turning for Shottenden).

Not without its own share of historic highlights and notoriety, your walk begins in the ancient settlement of Newnham, nestled in the Syndale Valley since at least the 12th century. Here the Romans grew grapes and James Pimm was born – creator of one of Britain’s best-loved summer drinks, the eponymous Pimms. The Revd. Granville Wheler proved the existence of electric current in 1725 at Otterden Place – just one of the grand homes that pepper your path as you make your way through ancient woods, working farmland and historic grazing pastures. Many of the woods on your route are still hunted by wildfowlers who sell their game to local butchers and restaurants, while others support the rural craft of coppicing - common in this area. Traditional coppicing of sweet chestnut shoots for fence stakes extends the life of the trees and floods the woodland floor with light in spring and summer, promoting an abundance of flowers and food for wildlife. As you pass back into sweeping open fields you may see kestrels and other birds of prey.

  • Appendix Two – Kent and Medway Housing Strategy
    Appendix Two – Kent and Medway Housing Strategy Case Study - THROWLEY LOCAL NEEDS AFFORDABLE HOUSING The project to develop this local-needs housing scheme on a rural exception site in Throwley began with Sheldwich, Badlesmere and Leaveland Parish Council supporting a Parish Housing Needs Survey in February 2012, undertaken by the Rural Housing Enabler from Action with Communities in Rural Kent, funded by Swale Borough Council. The survey identified a need for four affordable homes. Due to the fairly low level of housing need it was decided to ask the adjacent parish if they would be interested in investigating the possibility of a joint scheme. Throwley Parish Council was therefore approached by the Rural Housing Enabler (RHE) and they agreed; the RHE carried out a survey in March 2013. The survey identified a need for 3 affordable homes. Both Parish Councils worked with the RHE to search for a suitable site on which to build a local needs housing scheme and some eight sites were identified in 2014. Both Parish Councils agreed that the site at Leaveland Corner was the most appropriately located site. Planning Officers were concerned it was a little remote (although interestingly the site is adjacent to council houses built by Swale BC in the 50s) and Planning Officers preferred a site in Sheldwich. However, this site relied on additional land from a local landowner and he was only prepared to make it available if he was granted permission for open market housing as well. The Parish Councils were not prepared to support this and following discussions, the Planning Officer agreed to support the Leaveland Corner site.
