A striking new eco-home set in an exclusive seven-house development on 10 acres, The Dutch Barn combines barn-like character with contemporary, low-running-cost technology. The house offers around 300 sq m (3,230 sq ft) of adaptable living space centred on a dramatic 10m x 8m vaulted kitchen / dining / living room, plus a study, separate TV room and five double bedrooms, each with an en suite. High ceilings and extensive glazing maximise light and countryside views.
Sustainability is integral: each home has a share in a 240 kW solar park, an air-source heat pump, full underfloor heating and high-performance glazing, helping reduce energy bills and environmental impact. The purchase is off-plan, allowing buyers to select kitchens, bathrooms, finishes and landscaping within an allowance, and a three-bedroom unit on site can be rented free while this house is completed to ease the move.
Important practical points: broadband speeds in the area are very slow, and off-plan purchases carry normal construction and specification-change risks and potential build-time delays. The development is highly private and rural — excellent for countryside living but reliant on car travel for many everyday services despite reasonable access to Gillingham Station.
Overall this is a high-spec, energy-efficient family or executive home for buyers seeking substantial, flexible accommodation, strong eco credentials and a rural setting, while accepting off-plan timing and local broadband limitations.
