The Darling Buds Of May house is up for sale for £800,000 – 26 years after series ended
You can buy Home Farm where Ma and Pop Larkin lived - if you have a lot of cash going spare. The country house has five bedrooms, five bathrooms and a huge garden.
THE house from 90s TV show The Darling Buds Of May is up for sale for £800,000 – and it looks just perfick.
The farmhouse, in Berthsden, in Kent, has five bedrooms, five bathrooms and 4.47 acres of land – plus, it’s famous to millions as the home of the Larkins.
The property, which is near the village of Pluckley, was used as Home Farm when the ITV show filmed there between 1991 and 1993.
The series also used the surrounding rural area as a backdrop for the Larkin family’s adventures, including the nearby Black Horse pub and the Little Chart cricket ground.
The ITV show, which ran for three series, was set in the fifties and was a huge hit in the early nineties, starring Davin Jason as Pop Larkin (whose catchphrase was "perfick!"), Pam Ferris as his wife Ma, and Catherine Zeta-Jones in her breakout role as the couple’s oldest daughter Mariette.
The family lived on a farm in Kent, with Pop Larkin constantly thinking up schemes to make the family’s lives better.
