California-style East Farleigh home left over from the 1950s on sale for £800,000

If you are tired of living in a cookie-cutter home and want somewhere more distinctive, you could be in luck.

On the market is doer-upper “Ferlaga”, a three-bedroomed home with a two-bedroom annexe in East Farleigh, near Maidstone promising a hint of “California” in the Kent countryside.

It was individually designed by the architect Phillip Clarke, for his own use, back in 1959.

Since then, aside from an extension made in a matching style in 1967, very little has changed.

The home is all on one level with many floor-to-ceiling windows giving beautiful views to the south and west.

Described as “Californian” in style, the detached time capsule home is situated off Vicarage Lane.

Ferlaga was how the village of East Farleigh was recorded in the Domesday book.

The emphasis is on functionality with large areas of open space, and with fitted shelving and cabinets.

It has its own driveway, a detached garage, and an outdoor workshop and sits in half an acre.

The two-bedroom annexe is reached from the main hallway which has its own living space and separate kitchen and bathroom.

The house is on sale through Page and Wells.

Offers are invited in the region of £800,000.
