Situation

Old Homersham Barn is situated on the outskirts of the historic village of Smarden. The village of Smarden is regarded as one of the prettiest in Kent and is surrounded by picturesque countryside, yet it is not remote, enjoying good access to the surrounding towns of Tenterden, Ashford and Headcorn. Village facilities include a primary school, Post office/stores, butcher’s shop, art gallery, inns and a superb village hall with playing field. The wider area is well served by a choice of schools both in the state and independent sectors, as well as excellent recreation amenities including the nearby Chart Hills golf course. Mainline railway stations are accessible at Headcorn or Pluckley as well as Ashford International station with 37 minute high speed trains to London St Pancras.

The attractive accommodation boasts many fine features to include timber latch doors, an Inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove. Energy efficient heating is via a Thermal Store fed by the oil fired boiler, wood burning stove, Immersion heater and solar roof panels.
The accommodation provides considerable flexibility having two bedrooms (1 en-suite) on the first floor with a dressing area that could alternatively be used as a study, as well a ground floor guest bedroom en-suite, which has the potential to be used as a small annexe if required.
