The Deanery is a Grade II* listed property with a rich history and unique architecture. The Georgian house was built in the 18th century and incorporates features from earlier structures, including the 14th-century solar and 14th-century Great Hall. The property has strong ecclesiastical connections, having served as the country residence of the Deans of Canterbury Cathedral. The house is approached by a gravel driveway that wraps around a converted brick barn and features an elegant eighteenth-century porch. The formal gardens are enclosed by traditional brick walls and high fencing, and the property also includes Deanery Cottage, a renovated brick barn that has been combined into a single residence. The property is located on the outskirts of the village of Chartham, with easy access to nearby towns and cities, including Canterbury, Ashford, and Faversham.
