SUBSTANTIAL AND BEAUTIFULLY CONVERTED BARN WITH PADDOCK SET IN AN IDYLLIC LOCATION APPROACHED BY A PRIVATE DRIVE, WITHIN THE CRANBROOK SCHOOL CATCHMENT AREA

A truly exceptional barn conversion, this property has a rare blend of character, craftsmanship, and comfort. This unique home offers the appeal of rural living with the benefit of a contemporary refurbishment. Thoughtfully designed, the property maintains its traditional charm and character with distinct and versatile spaces throughout.

As you step through the front door, you are welcomed into a stunning entrance hall, where a full-height window floods the space with natural light, framing views of the garden and drawing the eye upward to the impressive double ceiling height. This remarkable space sets the tone for the rest of the home - light-filled, cleverly designed, and beautifully finished. The entrance hall leads to a spacious dining
room, kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, cloakroom, snug/bedroom five, and a large storeroom on one side with
a guest bedroom, with adjacent shower room on the other side. To the rear is a hallway with stained glass windows leading to the study and the large, light filled sitting room with triple aspect and double patio doors to the garden.

Upstairs there is a principal bedroom with ensuite and dressing area, and two further double bedrooms, one with an ensuite shower room and a separate family bathroom.

The garden is mainly laid to lawn, framed by mature trees, established flower beds, and a variety of shrubs that provide year-round colour and interest. A separate, fenced vegetable garden offers space for homegrown produce, while two generous patio areas create ideal settings for outdoor dining and entertaining.

Beyond the main garden, the paddock has been seeded as
a wildflower meadow, adding natural charm and attracting wildlife - a peaceful and picturesque extension of this exceptional outdoor space.

There is a double garage with electric doors and the driveway has ample space for many cars. There is also a large shed for further storage.
