Just because you haven’t heard of somewhere before doesn’t mean it’s not worth a visit, and that’s certainly the case when it comes to these stunning properties.

We’ve found three eye-catching million-pound houses in Kent villages that are so remote we almost missed them…

Golford, near Cranbrook

Nestled in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Golford, a village tucked away between Cranbrook and Tenterden, this rural property makes the most of its location.

There’s ample countryside on the doorstep and the five-bedroom house also boasts mature gardens, paddock and woodland within its four-acre grounds.

Dating back to 1624, Goldford Place has retained many period features, including the inglenook fireplace, wooden ladder stairs and a timber barn.

Stone-cum-Ebony, near Ashford

Having been converted from a former oast house in 1987, this five-bedroom house is a unique building in a picturesque location.

The property boasts uninterrupted views over the surrounding farmland and, despite being only 15 minutes from both Tenterden and Rye, is well-secluded on the Isle of Oxney.

Inside, there’s a spacious kitchen/breakfast room, two reception rooms and three bathrooms, while the gardens feature a tennis court, stables, outbuildings and a double garage.

Waltham, near Canterbury

It’s the first time in 60 years that this six-bedroom property, dating back to the 18th century, has gone on the market.

The four-storey building comprises a master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, a kitchen with a five-oven electric Aga, two attic rooms, a separate annexe and a cellar.

The cottage-style garden has a paved terrace and courtyard, while further into the grounds you can find paddocks and a pond.
