Furnace Lane, Brenchley, TN12

Set amidst the rolling Kent countryside and just outside the historic and picturesque village of Brenchley sits The Barn. A newly constructed, architecturally striking residence, that combines exceptional design with state-of-the-art energy efficiency.

Built by the developer for his own occupation, this thoughtfully designed home has prioritised sustain-ability and accordingly features an air source heat pump, solar panels, and high-performance insulation. This resulted in a rare A-Rated Energy Performance Certificate, meaning the house has a minimal environmental footprint and nominal energy costs.

Every aspect of the home is geared towards comfort and efficiency, without compromising on design or luxury and this is felt from the moment you step inside.  The entrance hall with its vaulted ceiling is a light-filled and spacious area.

The ground floor accommodation flows beautifully from this point, offering a generous and flexible layout that is ideal for both family life and entertaining. To the rear, and therefore perfectly situated to maximise the stunning setting, is the expansive open-plan kitchen, dining and living space - a true showpiece of the property. Two sets of sliding doors open onto the landscaped terrace that wraps around the house, offering seamless inside-outside living whilst fully taking advantage of the spectacular countryside views.

This main living area has been cleverly zoned, with the kitchen and a relaxed seating area positioned just a few steps above the main lounge and dining space. The elevation adds architectural interest while subtly dividing the room and the lower seating area which again features a vaulted ceiling, enhancing the sense of space. The living area also benefits from Air Conditioning.

The kitchen itself is finished to the highest standard, with sleek high-end cabinetry, integrated Bora hob and appliances, and a large island ideal for gathering. A second Bora hob with Teppanyaki cooking plate is perfectly positioned on the island, and an adjacent utility room with outdoor access provides further storage.

There is a further reception room on the ground floor which offers flexible living options for guests, extended family or home working. This would work perfectly well as a snug, playroom, home office or a fourth bedroom, thanks to its own dedicated en suite shower room. A downstairs WC completes the accommodation on this floor, all of which benefit from protective Solar film to the glazing.

Upstairs, the master suite is a true retreat, with a vaulted ceiling and large windows capturing uninterrupted rural views, the space feels calm and expansive. It also benefits from its own dedicated dressing area and a luxurious en suite bathroom, featuring double sinks and a walk-in rainfall shower.

There are two further double bedrooms on the first floor, both generously proportioned, with extensive wardrobes and glorious views of the surrounding countryside.  These rooms are served by a stylish family bathroom with a large walk in shower and separate bath.

The landscaped garden which extends approximately ¾ of an acre, includes paved terraces with ample space for relaxing and dining, an outside pergola with available connections for an outdoor kitchen, expanses of lawn, a picturesque pond with a jetty and deciduous trees offering points of interest throughout the year. This lovely, peaceful fully enclosed garden enjoys a southerly aspect and due to the house’s enviable position, provides the most stunning views across the open countryside that sits on its doorstep. A double garage and private gated driveway to the front, provide generous secure parking and external storage.
