Description

This remarkable four-bedroom detached Oast House and barn conversion presents a rare opportunity to acquire a truly unique residence in the heart of Barming village. Remaining in the same family for over 55 years, this Grade II listed Oast house conversion is offered to the market with no onward chain, making it an attractive prospect for discerning buyers seeking a property with character and potential. The triple Oast configuration, featuring two distinctive roundels, provides a striking architectural focal point, while the expansive interior offers versatile living accommodation ideally suited for family life. The ground floor comprises a welcoming entrance hallway, a well-proportioned kitchen, and a convenient shower room. Upstairs is the wonderful lounge and four generously sized bedrooms complemented by a second shower room, providing flexibility for modern family requirements. The property offers scope for careful restoration and sympathetic remodelling (subject to Grade II listing consent), with the potential to incorporate the existing garage and store room into the main residence if desired. Throughout the home, period features and original details are evident, reflecting the care and pride with which the property has been maintained. Located within walking distance of Barming Primary School and benefitting from excellent transport links, this home represents a wonderful opportunity to secure a piece of local history in a highly sought-after setting.

The outside space is equally impressive, with lovingly curated rear gardens that have matured beautifully over the years. An assortment of established flower beds, productive fruit trees, and a well-tended vegetable patch create a tranquil and picturesque setting, perfect for outdoor relaxation or family gatherings. Gated access to the side provides both privacy and convenience. The gardens have been thoughtfully designed to offer year-round interest, with plenty of space for children to play or for keen gardeners to further develop and personalise. The property also benefits from a driveway providing off-road parking, catering to the practical needs of a busy household as well as garage with door leading to the internal property hallway. This exceptional outside space, combined with the property’s distinctive character and enviable location, makes this barn conversion a truly special place to call home.
