"In my opinion this home offers a wonderful combination of a stylish Kentish style barn found in a truly private and secluded setting". - Philip Jarvis, Director.

**GUIDE PRICE OF £900,000-£930,000**

Stream Barn was built approximately thirty five years ago and the current owners who have lived here for over twenty years have developed the barn and gardens creating a most comfortable home.

Stream Barn is the last property found along a lane off Lower Street in Leeds. Sitting on a plot of approximately a third of an acre, the barn is found in a tucked away position surrounded by landscaped gardens.

Downstairs the accommodation is arranged with a triple aspect sitting room with wood burning stove. There is also a large kitchen/dining room with bifold doors onto the garden. There is also a useful cloakroom.

There are floor to ceiling windows in the hall leading up to the landing.

The master bedroom also boasts floor to ceiling windows overlooking the garden, as well as a vaulted ceiling and ensuite shower room. There are three further bedrooms and a modern bathroom.

There is a brick block driveway leading to an open ended garage and workshop. The gardens enjoy a sunny aspect and have been lovingly cared for by the owners creating a landscaped garden. A feature is the meandering stream that runs through the garden. Open countryside and the Leeds Castle Estate are behind the property.

Leeds is a popular village found South of Maidstone. The village has a primary school, church and popular local pub. Ledian Garden Retirement Village is nearby offering a restaurant and spa. There are railway stations in the nearby villages of Hollingbourne and Headcorn with direct access to London. The M20 motorway is only a short drive away. The county town of Maidstone is approximately five miles away.

An internal viewing is a must to fully appreciate everything Stream Barn has to offer.
