Full Description

LOCATION

Rushett Farm is in the Parish of Norton about 3 miles from Faversham and about 4 miles from Sittingbourne.  The property is approached by turning south off the main A2 at Syndale Bottom proceeding along the Faversham Road towards Newnham and Doddington and taking the first right hand turning just before the M2 motorway viaduct into Rushett Lane.  The farm can be found on the left hand side immediately after the sharp right hand bend at the top of the hill. 

There is a farm entrance track beside the cottage leading to the stables and paddock and the coldstores and farm buildings to the rear.  There is a further farm track leading from the buildings to the main block of orchard land.

The Cottage

The Farm Buildings

The buildings are located to the rear of the cottages and are approached over the main access road from Rushett Lane.  They comprise the original brick and corrugated cement sheeted packhouse and coldstores now used as a farm workshop and general purpose store.  There are modern coldstores with capacity to store approximately 240 tonnes of apples and pears.  To the front of the buildings is a large hard standing area and beyond this the farm track leads to the fruit plantations. 

If these were sold separately then there is some potential for a change of use to the farm buildings subject to the usual planning consents being obtained.
