- CHURCH BARN, , THE STREET, EAST BRABOURNE, ASHFORD, KENT, 1225000, 06/12/2021
A gorgeous barn conversion and granary with combined accommodation providing up to six bedrooms, in the lovely village of East Brabourne.
Description
Church Barn and its granary are set in plantsman’s gardens of about one acre and back on to glorious open countryside and enjoy stunning rural views. The barn, which was converted in the late 1980’s as a four bedroom conversion, has been reconfigured to create modern day living with a “live in” kitchen and family room being the heart of the home.
The accommodation comprises a canopied country-style porch leading into the entrance hall with stairs up. The main sitting room is an impressive space with a dramatic vaulted ceiling and a wealth of exposed timbers. Light floods in via double height windows with doors on the southerly aspect with further windows to the front making this an exceptionally bright and airy room. There is an exposed feature brick wall with open fireplace – perfect for those cold winter nights. A double aspect music room/snug situated off the sitting room has a spiral wooden staircase up to a secondary first floor area which could either be bedroom three or a study with a bespoke fitted desk, ideal for those working from home. A utility/boot room completes the accommodation at this end of the barn with drying area and door to outside. From the entrance hall, there is a double bedroom with picture window looking out over the rear gardens and a shower room. The kitchen/family room is fitted with a range of cherry wood base and wall units, Corian work surfaces, integrated oven and gas hob and an oil fired Aga, the must have for country living.
On the first floor is a lovely bedroom suite with principal bedroom having eaves storage cupboards and window to rear complimented by a roof light. The bathroom has an oversized
bath, WC and bidet with a basin set in a vanity unit. The dressing room is open to a mezzanine balcony which overlooks the sitting room.
The detached granary provides useful ancillary accommodation or could be used to generate a second income. There is a light open plan sitting room with kitchenette, ground floor bedroom and bathroom with space for a washing machine, whilst on the first floor there are two interconnecting rooms under sloping ceilings and a cloakroom. Integral to the granary, is a store room, log store and a garage with useful area for storage to one side.
Church Barn is set in professionally landscaped gardens that wrap around both properties and are extensively planted with flowering shrubs and a host of perennials. There are a number of specimen trees throughout the garden including Walnut, Magnolia, purple Norwegian Maple, Liquidamber, Birch, Crab Apple and Amelanchier to name but a few.
The sweeping gravelled driveway offers parking for numerous cars with a log store to one side, compost area, garden shed, greenhouse and adjacent soft fruit bed.
Location
Church Barn stands idyllically within the Conservation Area of the highly desirable and quintessential Kentish village of East Brabourne, overlooking the rolling hills of the North Downs, itself an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village’s attractive ancient church is situated at one end of the lane and the highly acclaimed award-winning pub/eatery/inn The Five Bells lies at the other, while the village school is approximately 1 mile distant.
The village of Wye is located a short drive away and offers a wider range of facilities to include shops, GP surgery, library, pubs, restaurants and an active village hall plus sports facilities. It also benefits from a regular bus service to both Ashford and Canterbury and a mainline railway station with services to London Charing Cross, Canterbury West and London Victoria.
The popular town of Ashford is only approximately 8 miles away and benefits from a more comprehensive range of shopping and leisure facilities as well as the Ashford International Rail Station, providing High Speed services to Stratford in 28 minutes and London St. Pancras in 37 minutes.
Square Footage: 2,163 sq ft
Acreage: 1 Acres
Additional Info
Agents note - There is a public footpath that cuts across the far left hand corner of the garden, but we understand from the sellers that any ramblers walk around the field instead.
