Moat Farm House, located in the picturesque village of Ash, Kent, is a splendid Tudor farmhouse that has undergone a meticulous restoration to highlight its historical features. Accommodating up to 14 guests, the property boasts 7 bedrooms and 6 bath/shower rooms, including 4 ensuite facilities. The heart of the home is a spacious, vaulted farmhouse kitchen complemented by a secondary kitchen and three inviting reception rooms. Set within 6 acres of land, the farmhouse offers a serene environment on the edge of the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, just 3 miles from the medieval town of Sandwich, known for its well-preserved architecture and charm.
The farmhouse is surrounded by well-maintained grounds that extend to the historic churchyard of St Nicholas, dating back to the fourteenth century.

For leisure and entertainment, the property includes a thatched barn housing a games room equipped with table tennis, darts, and table football, catering to younger guests and providing a fun environment for all. The garden is thoughtfully enclosed to keep small dogs secure and to ensure the safety of young children near the pond. The extensive grounds also offer lovely walking paths and access to exceptional sights in the surrounding area, making it an ideal retreat for families, groups of friends, golfers, and nature enthusiasts alike.
The kitchen is a standout feature of Moat Farm House, having been significantly expanded and equipped with modern amenities, including multiple ovens, dishwashers, and a large fridge freezer.
