Owners Remarks:
“It was love at first sight when we viewed Martins Farmhouse 35 years ago and it has fulfilled its promise ever since. Aware that we were simply the custodians of this lovely 17th century home it has been a work in progress caring for it, and we are still enamoured of it as much as ever. It has always felt inviting giving off a friendly vibe and making us feel safe and sheltered. It has an enduring beauty and charm all its own.
Martins Farmhouse is located in a beautiful rural location sheltering between the Greensand Ridge and the River Beult in its own mild micro climate benefitting the surrounding farmland with fertile soil and lush productivity making gardening here a joy.
Here you can hear the birds sing it is so quiet, have spectacular views of gorgeous countryside from Martins Farmhouse’s windows , and count shooting stars in the night skies free from urban lighting.
It’s not been all plain sailing but the builders of Martins Farmhouse knew a thing or two. We have survived hurricane and storms better than most. The worst flooding of surrounding areas left us secure and high and dry. The worst snows confining us from leaving the village for days saw is snug and warm with roaring fires.
Raising our family of three here was also a wonderful experience with the freedom of a safe environment and plenty of countryside to walk and play in. The children attended the Hunton Playgroup, then the Hunton Primary School and on to the excellent Maidstone Grammar Schools.
Hunton is a small but friendly community with a vibrant social calendar focused around the hub of St.Mary’s Church, the Village Hall, Hunton School and the resident run Village Club with a myriad of activities and clubs should one so wish. One can engage with what’s on offer or not but there is always help or privacy as one’s choice.
And now with enormous regret, with the children flown, needs must and it’s time to go. Given better circumstances I’d not leave but I’ll take a wealth of happy memories with me. Lucky are those who next take on the guardianship of Martins Farmhouse.“
