Set within about 14.5 acres of formal gardens, meadow and woodland edge, Rogley Barn is a large, characterful barn conversion arranged over two floors with generous south‑facing reception rooms and high ceilings. The main house (about 3,000 sq ft) has been remodelled and newly renovated to provide an open-plan kitchen/dining/family room, reclaimed oak finishes, underfloor heating to the ground floor and a vaulted principal bedroom with full-height windows. Adjoining is a self-contained two‑bedroom cottage and an unconverted Normandy barn offering substantial scope for conversion or ancillary uses (subject to consents).
This is a family-oriented rural home in Cranbrook School catchment, positioned close to Hemsted Forest and local village amenities in Biddenden. The arrangement of rooms and separate cottage make the property flexible for multi‑generational living, holiday lets or home office/studio use. The gardens are well planted with mature trees, wildflower areas and a large polished concrete terrace that benefits from extensive southerly aspect.
Buyers should note several practical and cost considerations. Heating is oil‑fired with radiators and underfloor heating to the ground floor; the property uses private drainage (Klargester) and sits in a medium flood‑risk area. The EPC is rated E and the council tax level is described as quite expensive. Mobile signal is reported as none on site, though broadband speeds are fast. The Normandy barn is currently unconverted and will require significant investment and planning to repurpose.
Overall, Rogley Barn suits buyers seeking a peaceful, substantial country estate with immediate living accommodation and clear potential to add value through sympathetic conversion or landscaping. It will particularly appeal to families who value space, privacy and rural access to good local schools, as well as purchasers comfortable managing the maintenance and running costs of a large, period property.
