4-bedroom barn conversion with recent extension and large open-plan kitchen/dining

Generous gardens approx 4/5ths acre with enclosed lawn and mature planting
Ample gated gravel driveway parking and converted garage with studio rooms
Wood-burning stove, vaulted ceilings and exposed timbers throughout
Heating by oil boiler; oil fuel only (not a community supply)
Very slow broadband and no mobile signal on site — limited connectivity
Medium flood risk recorded; council tax rated expensive
Set on a generous 4/5-acre plot on the edge of Petham, this four-bedroom barn conversion combines rural character with contemporary living. The recent extension and floor-to-ceiling windows create a light, open reception hall and a farmhouse-style kitchen/dining area that steps out to mature, well-planted gardens and farmland views. A new double annexe with en-suite increases flexibility for guests, home working or rental income.
Inside, exposed timbers, a vaulted sitting room with wood-burning stove and multiple reception spaces provide family-friendly versatility. Four first-floor bedrooms share elevated views across rolling countryside, while ground-floor studios and an extra bedroom with en-suite in the converted garage offer additional accommodation options.
Practical considerations are clear: heating is via an oil-fired boiler and the property has double glazing installed before 2002. Broadband is very slow and there is no mobile signal on site, which may affect remote working or streaming. There is a medium flood risk recorded for the area and council tax is high; buyers should check insurance and running costs.
Overall this detached barn suits buyers seeking a spacious, characterful family home or a rural retreat with annexe potential. The location within the Kent Downs National Landscape offers excellent walking country and access to Canterbury’s schools and rail links, but buyers should be comfortable with rural utilities and ongoing maintenance of a large plot.
