Located within a small rural courtyard of just six period homes, this attached Grade II listed barn conversion occupies about 0.77 acres and offers nearly 3,500 sq ft of flexible family accommodation. The house combines authentic exposed beams and vaulted ceilings with recent high-quality upgrades: engineered oak and travertine floors, a Neptune kitchen with quartz tops and integrated appliances, updated electrics and a fully sound‑proofed music room with air conditioning.
The layout suits family living and entertaining: impressive double‑height reception hall with underfloor heating, four double bedrooms including a principal suite with en‑suite, and a spectacular first‑floor open‑plan living/dining/kitchen area with triple aspect views over the garden and backing farmland. Outside there is a gravel driveway with parking, a cart‑barn double garage and generous lawns and mature borders around the property.
Practical points: heating is oil‑fired with boiler and radiators, the house sits on private drainage and carries a modest communal service charge of £840 per year. The property is Grade II listed, which preserves its character but will complicate certain alterations and repair methods. The vendors have planning consent for several improvements (balcony extension, main bedroom French doors, and converting the music studio/cart‑barn to a gym/office with a shower), giving a buyer clear scope to personalise the home.
This is best for buyers who value rural character, generous internal space and outside privacy, and who accept the responsibilities of owning a listed, countryside property (specialist maintenance, oil heating and private drainage). The combination of period character, recent high‑end finishes and permitted alterations makes it attractive to families seeking a distinctive, long‑term home near Faversham.
