Stourmouth, Canterbury

A very rare development opportunity in a semi-rural location with planning permission for the conversion of a traditional timber framed barn into a residential dwelling.

The former farmyard is located to the north of the Village of Preston, approximately 3.0 miles from Wingham. Preston benefits from good range of local services and amenities including a Primary school, Butchers, shop and garden Centre. Sandwich (8.5 miles) has a wider range of facilities, and the Cathedral City of Canterbury (10 miles) has a full range of shopping, educational and leisure facilities.

The Kent barn will provide a large double height dining area, kitchen, utility, family bathroom and two large double bedrooms (one with en-suite) on the ground floor. On the first floor there will be a large master suite with an en-suite and dressing area. Accessed via a separate set of stairs will be a large living room. Adjacent to the barn will be a 4 bay ‘car barn’.

This rarely available, listed barn is set within approximately 1.14-acres in a picturesque rural setting.
