No, he just lived in that farmhouse for part of his childhood. I don't think he ever lived in Kent at all; he just happened to be born there. He has spent the majority of his life in London and went back to Tipp every summer after the family returned to England. It is often quoted that he was born in Ireland. Shane says this is because, in Ireland, they tend to take the place of birth as the place where the parents lived at the time, rather than where the birth actually happened.

judging from hes biography he did live in Kent...at least for a while...

"They moved around a lot with his father's job,living in Kent and several houses in London,but never really settled anywhere."...
