About this property

In an unrivalled setting on the rural fringes of Hawkhurst, a delightful barn conversion with separate stone barn and covered area with lapsed planning permission to convert, set in just under 2 acres of gardens, paddock and woodland with marvellous views.

Set on the rural fringes of Hawkhurst and yet with countryside walks back to the village and schools, this charming unlisted barn conversion has been imaginatively configured to give a truly contemporary “industrial chic” feel with polished concrete floors, wide expanses of glass and steel whilst keeping the integrity of its agricultural heritage.

The ground floor is predominantly given over to one single open plan space of 47’ with zoned areas for relaxing, entertaining and dining with full height sliding glass doors and top hung windows and a roof lantern providing an abundance of natural light whilst the kitchen area is off-set in a raised area with slate flooring and oak cabinetry, leading to a useful utility room.

On the first floor are three good double bedrooms, the principal having an ensuite bathroom and large full height window overlooking the rear garden and access to a balcony, the middle bedroom has sliding glass doors accessing the same balcony with wonderful views out and the bedroom to the front has fitted wardrobes and a lower level behind a false wall with a further fitted bed and a pretty triangular window offering yet more countryside views. These bedrooms are well-served by the family bathroom.

Outside
There is a parking area and brick pathway leading to the front door with an adjacent large stone barn with an open area which has lapsed planning to convert to ancillary accommodation or a studio/party barn. An additional path leads down to an area of formal garden bordered by box hedging, a kitchen garden with raised beds and various terraced areas. There are further natural wild meadow and paddock areas as well as some delightful woodland and ponds, all enjoying the far-reaching countryside views.

Situation
Set in an idyllic location between the villages of Sandhurst and Hawkhurst where there are Waitrose and Tesco supermarkets, local independent shops and cafes, the Kino digital cinema and excellent gastro pubs. The house is within the Cranbrook School Catchment Area and the highly regarded St Ronan’s School is within easy reach. Also nearby are Marlborough House School, Dulwich Cranbrook and Benenden Girls School. In Cranbrook there are a wide range of amenities, local shops, supermarkets and banks etc.

Further excellent shopping facilities are in Tenterden and Tunbridge Wells. There are train stations at Etchingham (6.7 miles) and Staplehurst (9.9 miles) with services to London Bridge and Charing Cross - 1 hour 15 mins from Etchingham and 1 hour 5 mins from Staplehurst.
