Quick guess - St Helen's, Cliffe.  I remember reading of vandalism there a few years back and wonder if this is one of the repaired windows,

Official listing for Great Paddock Farmhouse: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1071302?section=official-list-entry

Now for the next one.  An interesting little window.  The glass is modern (1879), but the window itself is much older.  Where, and for bonus points, how old?

Spot on MartinR. Apologies for the Boughton mix up, I looked at Boughton under Blean...............
So this is on the A252 Canterbury Road between Challock and Charing:Great Paddocks Farm, high on the North Downs at Challock, is a manor house dating from the 17th century.
Given listed building status in 1957, it is a rare Grade II* property, which means it is classified by English Heritage as a “particularly important building of more than special interest”.
English Heritage records that the red brick house is early 17th century with alterations in the 19th and 20th century, noting wooden mullioned windows and an interesting gabled roof. Look upwards to see the chimney on the left is two lovely “coupled” chimneys, while on the right, you can see four quirky octagonal chimneys.

Well Great Paddock Farm, next to Landmark Range Rover fits the bill:
  • Nat Grid:                  TQ 99116 50234
  • Nearest Post Code: TN25 4DW
  • WGS84:                   51°12'60"N 000°50'59"E or 51.21658,0.84971
Except that it is roughly NE of the two Boughtons, not south.

Further South MartinR. Not a Church, it's a criptic clue JW.
Recap: 17th Century Manor House on a Farm, on a main A road. You can see these Chimneys when passing. One stack are Octagonal.
