Set high above the Elham Valley in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, The Barn is a characterful, recently renovated detached home on an exceptional plot of about 3.12 acres. The house combines exposed beams, engineered oak floors and a long 39ft lounge/diner with a wall of windows that frame sweeping rural views — a peaceful family home or a weekend country retreat. The gated driveway and generous parking add privacy and convenience.
The property sits within large, well-established grounds that include an enormous Indian sandstone terrace, level lawns suitable for a pool or informal sports, a detached summerhouse/studio and an approx 2.5 acre paddock with two stables and a tack room. Bedrooms occupy vaulted, dual-aspect positions to maximise those elevated views; the flexible ground-floor room works well as a study, snug or guest bedroom.
Practical points to note: the house uses oil-fired central heating and has double glazing installed post-2002; the solid-brick walls are assumed uninsulated. Broadband speeds are very slow in this rural location. Council tax is above average. While the property was comprehensively renovated after 2010, interested buyers should verify services, any consents for alterations and running costs before purchase.
For buyers seeking space, privacy and character close to Canterbury (under 7 miles), this home offers rare scale and equestrian potential within an attractive rural community. The setting and versatile accommodation suit families, those who need home working space, or buyers wanting a countryside base with direct access to local riding and walking routes.
