Description
Property Description: Guide Price £600,000 - £650,000. Set within a peaceful, exclusive enclave of just four properties, this beautifully converted barn has a unique blend of character, modern living and expansive outdoor space, all set within the idyllic Kentish Downs. The property is surrounded by the beautiful countryside, providing a tranquil retreat while remaining accessible to local amenities and transport links.
The heart of this home is the impressive 38 ft x 24 ft open-plan kitchen, living, and dining room. This spacious area features a double height, vaulted ceiling with original exposed beams, creating a sense of grandeur and charm. A log burner provides a focal point, perfect for cosy evenings. The scale and design of this area make it ideal for both entertaining and comfortable family living, seamlessly blending zones for cooking, dining, and relaxation.
The modern kitchen is well equipped, designed with a blend of granite and solid wood worktops and cream shaker style units. A central island provides additional preparation space and a casual dining area. Integrated appliances include a NEFF double oven, a hob, a fridge freezer, and a dishwasher, ensuring a seamless culinary experience. The layout and premium finishes highlight the quality throughout the property.
Adding to the versatility of the ground floor is an additional reception room. This space could serve as a home office or a fourth bedroom. Adjacent to this room is a ground floor shower room, making this area suitable for accessible living or for guests.
On the first floor, there are three generously sized double bedrooms. The main bedroom includes a private en-suite shower room and the second bedroom has built-in wardrobes. A well appointed family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms, designed with contemporary fixtures and fittings.
Outside: Externally, the property continues to impress. The low maintenance garden has been designed for enjoyment and minimal upkeep. A raised, decked entertaining area provides a perfect spot for al fresco dining and social gatherings, with views over the adjacent paddock. A fully covered wooden gazebo extends the outdoor living space, providing shelter. From the garden, residents can enjoy views over the paddock, creating a sense of openness and connection with nature.
Further enhancing the property's appeal is a substantial double garage, equipped with power, light, and water, with potential for various uses, from vehicle storage to a workshop. Above the garage, a versatile mezzanine area provides additional storage or could be adapted for other purposes, subject to any necessary consents. Ample off-road parking for several vehicles ensures convenience.
One of the most significant features of this property is the large, private paddock located directly opposite. This expansive parcel of land has potential for multiple uses. For equestrian enthusiasts, it is an ideal opportunity for keeping horses, with space for grazing and potential for stables (subject to planning). Alternatively, it could be suitable for a small holding, providing space for livestock or cultivation. The paddock also provides the prospect of building a workshop or a summer house, creating an additional recreational or functional space away from the main residence, all while enjoying the rural outlook.
