Description

*SISSINGHURST – CRANBROOK SCHOOL CATCHMENT*

Introducing a truly striking detached converted barn, extending to approximately 4,100 sq.ft and set within around 1.2 acres of attractive grounds. Offering six bedrooms, all with en suites, this exceptional home provides versatile accommodation, extensive parking, garaging, outbuildings, and a peaceful rural setting.

Finished to an exceptional specification, the conversion blends contemporary design with the original agricultural character, creating a light-filled and spacious modern family home while retaining its heritage charm.

Approached via a driveway leading from the road into a former farm hamlet, the property is accessed via its own gravel driveway, providing ample off-road parking. This leads to an impressive range of garaging, comprising four open bays flanked by two large storage rooms. Additional outbuildings include a stable and an open barn, which may offer potential for ancillary accommodation, subject to the necessary permissions.

A stone pathway leads to the barn and opens onto a paved terrace, ideal for outdoor entertaining, with views across the grounds and surrounding woodland.

The property is entered through a glazed lobby, opening into a stunning double-aspect open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space. Bathed in natural light, this impressive room features bi-fold doors leading outside, a sliding door to a pantry, daylight panels, and large tiled flooring with underfloor heating throughout the ground floor, with radiators installed on the first floor. The space is centred around a beautifully designed modern kitchen, featuring a stunning central island and a range of integrated appliances, including two Bosch dishwashers, a combi microwave/oven, double oven, washing machine, tumble dryer, and a Fisher & Paykel venting induction hob.

To the left of the entrance, double doors open into a partially vaulted, double-aspect sitting room, complete with a herringbone wood floor, a dramatic floor-to-ceiling window, two electric skylights and there is planning permission to install a woodstove and flue.

The remainder of the ground floor is arranged around a bright and spacious hallway with a feature staircase and glass door to the garden. Additional rooms include a family room, a snug, and a double-aspect study with a vaulted ceiling and direct access outside. There is also a well-equipped utility room, a ground floor double bedroom with en suite, and a separate cloakroom.

The central staircase rises to a galleried landing with ample built-in storage. The principal bedroom enjoys a vaulted ceiling and features a freestanding bath, two walk-in wardrobes, and a stylish en suite shower room. There are four further double bedrooms on this floor, each benefitting from modern, well-appointed en suite shower rooms.

Externally, the barn is set within approximately 1.2 acres of wraparound grounds. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn with a number of mature trees and offer excellent scope for further landscaping. The remaining land is laid to grassland.

The property also benefits from solar panels installed on the roof, and there is power to the garages.
