Set within almost nine and a half acres, this six-bedroom detached home blends contemporary barn conversion design with extensive, award-winning gardens. Light-filled living spaces, a south-facing conservatory and multiple reception rooms make it well suited to family life and entertaining. The grounds include a heated swimming pool with a pavilion, cedar hot tub, tennis court and an ancillary studio with two rooms and a garage — a rare package of indoor and outdoor amenities close to Tenterden.
Architect-led remodelling has introduced larch cladding, generous timber-framed glazing and natural materials throughout, creating strong internal-external connections. The kitchen and conservatory offer durable limestone floors and well-specified appliances, while three living areas and six bedrooms provide flexible accommodation for multi-generational households or home working. Practical updates include double glazing (post-2002) and renewable additions: an air-source heat pump and a solar pool cover.
Important practical points: the house’s primary space heating remains an oil-fired boiler with radiators and the property sits in Council Tax Band G, so running and tax costs should be factored into budgets. The plot and grounds are extensive, beautiful and award-winning but require ongoing maintenance; woodland, formal beds, fruit trees and water features will need a committed gardening plan or contractor. The location is private and quiet — the last house on the lane — yet Headcorn and Ashford stations are within a 15–30 minute drive for commuter access to London.
