Blue House Farm is an imposing Wealden farmhouse sitting on a small ridge in the centre of the Low Weald of Kent with panoramic far-reaching views. The property is situated in a very sought after rural location and extends in total to 4.87 acres. The house was originally lived in by the Vendor when growing up, as it formed part of the larger farm.

The farmhouse is in need of some modernisation and has been tenanted recently up until the beginning of December 2021. There are various component parts to the property, which are as follows:-
