Kent Farm Estate, Threshing Barn & Lavender Fields, Kent

About

Set within more than 1,200 acres of countryside in the Kent Downs, this expansive farm estate offers an exceptional range of interiors, landscapes and agricultural backdrops within easy reach of London. Located just 17 miles from central London and less than an hour by road or rail, the estate combines the accessibility of a London location with the scale and visual variety of a much more remote rural setting.

At the heart of the estate is a vast 400 sq m (4,300 sq ft) oak framed threshing barn dating from the 1760s. Defined by soaring ceilings, original timber beams and impressive open volumes, the barn has been used for everything from fashion editorials and commercial campaigns to television productions, weddings and large scale events. Its flexible layout allows the space to be adapted to a wide variety of creative requirements, while retaining the character and authenticity of a historic agricultural building.

The estate also includes a beautifully restored 16th century farmhouse set within a private farmyard. Featuring original beams, fireplaces, a traditional blue Aga kitchen, multiple reception spaces and an established country garden, the house offers a warm and characterful backdrop with views across the surrounding landscape. The adjacent gardens provide seasonal colour and texture throughout the year, with mature planting, lawns, terraces and secluded seating areas.

Beyond the principal buildings, the estate encompasses an extraordinary variety of landscapes and agricultural settings. Rolling farmland, woodland, farm tracks, water meadows, hop gardens, wild flower areas and working farmyards provide a broad selection of natural environments. Seasonal planting introduces further visual diversity, with lavender fields, grasses, wildflowers and agricultural crops creating distinctive backdrops throughout the year. The private lavender field, with more than 50,000 plants arranged in geometric rows, has become one of the estate's most recognisable locations.

A range of additional agricultural buildings are available across the estate, including weather boarded barns, grain stores, corrugated sheds and more distressed farm structures, offering everything from picturesque rural settings to raw and atmospheric industrial backdrops.

The estate has an established reputation within the film, television, fashion and advertising industries, having hosted productions for leading editorial, beauty, commercial and broadcast clients. Dedicated crew facilities, extensive parking, catering support, prop and vehicle hire, high-speed Wi-Fi and an experienced on-site location team ensure productions can operate efficiently across even the largest areas of the estate.

A remarkably diverse countryside location combining historic architecture, working farmland, seasonal landscapes and extensive production infrastructure, all within easy reach of central London.
