Somewhat unnecessarily perhaps, the landlord is specifically banning people on housing benefit from viewing the property.

The luxurious home in Hoath near Canterbury, Kent, is believed to be the most expensive home to rent in the county.

It costs an eye-watering £25,000 a week — almost as much as the average annual salary in the UK.

And a year's rent would add up to £1.3million — six times the cost of buying the average house.

However it is only available to rent for the Open golf championship at nearby Sandwich in 2020.

The beautiful fully furnished 15th century house has six bathrooms, a 60ft open plan kitchen and breakfast room, a formal dining room and a study.

Appleton Letting Agents say the home is not available to smokers or those on housing benefit.

The listing says: "The helipad in the field is for easy access to Sandwich, five to eight minutes' flight away."

A helicopter to whisk tenants to the golf course is not included in the price.

The 149th Open will be played from July 12-19 2020, marking a return to the coastal course for the first time since 2011.
