Pluckley, Ashford, Kent, TN27

A stunning five bedroom barn with beautiful wild meadow gardens, garaging and workshop.

Description

This immaculately presented property incorporates an original period barn that has been completely renovated, together with wonderful contemporary extensions.

Set back behind mature hedging and electric gates, this stylish family home features an air source heat pump system, under floor heating to the majority of rooms, a pressurised water system, powder coated aluminium windows and sliding doors and two areas of sedum roofing.

The front door opens to a wide reception hall with oak floorboards and underfloor heating. Off this there is a sitting room with a wealth of reclaimed timbers and a wood burning stove. Several steps lead down from the hall to the light and airy open plan family/dining room/kitchen, a fabulous family space which has been cleverly designed over a split level, with the modern, beautifully fitted kitchen located to one end with a central island with a selection of appliances.

Both areas have sliding glass doors that open to the substantial terrace and gardens. There is a walk-in pantry, a utility room with space for white goods and a separate WC. From the kitchen an oak staircase leads up to a study/playroom which overlooks the kitchen, and has an outlook to the gardens and the living sedum roof.

Within the original barn over the ground and first floor are the four beautifully presented bedrooms, including the principal bedroom benefiting from a luxuriously appointed en suite bathroom with freestanding bath and up lighting. There are two further shower rooms, equipped with modern sanitary ware and completing the internal accommodation is the flexible home office/potential bedroom five.

Outside there is ample off road parking and turning with access to the two bay garage, adjoining workshop and log store. A wooden fence screens the gardens from the drive. There is a wrap around slate terrace with raised beds and sleepers providing seating areas. The gardens, planted with wild flowers, have paths mown through them, and a well stocked kitchen garden.
