This 19th-century barn conversion offers generous, characterful living across an expansive plot in peaceful Fordwich. The house retains period charm—exposed beams and country-style kitchen—set behind a gated driveway with a private garage, garden store and summerhouse. The large, established half-acre garden provides room for outdoor living and potential landscaping projects.
Internally the layout is traditional and spacious (approximately 1,795 sq ft) with three bedrooms and a principal living floor arranged over converted barn levels. The neutral presentation gives buyers a ready-to-personalise canvas while the generous room sizes and high ceilings preserve the building’s historical feel.
Practical considerations: the property has one bathroom, older double glazing, solid brick walls likely without modern insulation, and slow broadband. Council tax is high and the local area records above-average crime — factors to weigh for families and long-term owners. Development potential to the side exists but would require planning permission and is not guaranteed.
Location is a strong asset: a sought-after village setting with country pubs, easy access to Canterbury (around 10 minutes by car) and local schools rated Good–Outstanding. For buyers seeking a roomy, character property with scope to upgrade and extend, this home blends rural tranquillity with accessible city links.
