'A Contemporary Barn Conversion in 3.5 Acres of Private, South Facing Grounds'

The Oaktree is a striking contemporary barn conversion offering expansive, flexible living space, set along a quiet, leafy rural lane yet within easy reach of both Tenterden and Ashford. Surrounded by over 3.5 acres of mature, south facing grounds and screened on all sides by established trees, this exceptional home blends modern architecture with rural tranquillity in a way few properties can match.

This is a home designed for light, space and connection to the landscape a place where bifold doors open to the terrace and paddocks beyond, where the curved hallway draws you through the building, and where every room feels anchored to its surroundings.

Craft the Final Finish

A rare advantage of The Oaktree is the opportunity for the incoming purchaser to influence and complete the final specification. Remaining works include:

• Completion of the two bay garage block with workshop, ground floor kitchen and shower room, and a first floor living room and double bedroom (now in the final stages of completion)

• Finishing the gated entrance, driveway, parking areas and rear terracing, allowing buyers to specify materials and finishes

• Explore additional future development potential to the right of the garage block (subject to consents)

CGI imagery has been prepared to illustrate the full potential of the completed scheme, helping buyers visualise the lifestyle this remarkable property can offer.

The vendor is happy to liaise directly with ourselves and prospective purchasers to agree the final specification, with flexibility reflected in the sale price, depending on the level of finish required.
