This striking converted barn in Eastry occupies an exceptionally large plot and delivers generous living across roughly 2,384 sq ft. The house pairs original brick and exposed beams with contemporary oak joinery, polished concrete floors and a wood-burning stove to create a confident, modern family home with character. The L-shaped plan places three double bedrooms on one wing and a broad open-plan living, kitchen and dining area on the other, with Crittall doors that open to a walled, shingle-planted garden designed to encourage biodiversity.
Practical everyday features include a sizeable kitchen with Siemens appliances, large island, pantry and separate utility, built-in bedroom storage, an en suite to the principal bedroom and plentiful fitted shelving. The plot and patios are arranged for outdoor dining and low-maintenance planting; an orchard and wildflower meadow sit adjacent, giving a strong rural feel while local shops and village amenities are within walking distance.
Important considerations: the home’s polished concrete floors and industrial-minimal finishes are visually striking but may feel cold underfoot to some buyers. The loft is accessible by ladder, limiting easy use as regular habitable space. Council tax banding is pending. Transport is practical for a rural location — Sandwich station is about a 10-minute drive with high-speed services to London — but commuting times are around 90 minutes by train.
This property will suit buyers seeking a substantial, characterful rural home with contemporary detailing and lots of outdoor space, rather than someone looking for a low-maintenance apartment or instant city commute. The large plot and flexible interior also present scope for further personalization if desired.
