The property is situated in School Road, just off the historic High Street in Charing. The village sits between the foot of the North Downs with the Pilgrim's Way and the Green Sand Ridge, a rural area rich in farming, some 5.5 miles from the larger market town of Ashford and 13 miles from Maidstone, both accessible via the A20, whilst Canterbury, accessed via the A252, is some 12.5 miles distant.

Charing enjoys an interesting mix of village shops, pubs, restaurants, church, primary school and doctor's surgery. Transport links are well supported with a main line railway station in the village, providing access to London Victoria and Ashford International station which benefits from the High Speed train service to London St Pancras, reducing the journey time to 37 minutes. Junction 9 of the M20 motorway is some 5 miles distant and junction 8, some 8 miles distant, both providing direct access to London and the Kent coast.
