This Victorian gabled manor in Kent sits within an 850-acre estate, with 10 acres of gardens that give productions a rich choice of exterior settings. It suits period drama, fashion, editorial, advertising and film work.

Inside, an Edwardian sitting hall is the centrepiece, with panelling, beams and Victorian fireplaces adding warmth and period character. Gabled windows bring in light and give the house a strong, characterful profile from outside.

The gardens are a highlight. A formal sunken garden, ponds and a flint and brick folly sit alongside a rock garden and woodland, while extensive lawns and avenues with cloud-clipped topiary create a graphic, sculptural backdrop. A neo-Tudor lodge adds a further period building, useful as an extra set or a production base.

By train, the journey from Faversham to London St Pancras takes around 1 hour 8 minutes.
