Location

Situation: The Barn is situated in a lovely rural location on the fringes of the picturesque, vibrant village of Bethersden. The village centre, which is just over a mile away, has two public houses, a specialist butcher's, Parish church, primary school, village hall, cricket club and recreation ground where there is a thriving tennis club. More comprehensive facilities can be found in the nearby towns of Ashford and Tenterden, which are just over 5 and 7 miles away in opposite directions. The area is well served for transport links and Ashford International has the high-speed rail service to London St Pancras (a journey time of about 37 minutes). A wide choice of good local schools in both the state and private sector can be found nearby, including the well regarded Highworth and Norton Knatchbull Grammar Schools and Ashford Independent School.

Accommodation

This deceptively spacious house benefits from well-proportioned rooms, the majority of which have copious amounts of glazing, designed to maximise the views of the south facing garden and stunning countryside beyond. As such, sunny days are glorious here, with the doors thrown open to make the most of the idyllic surroundings.

As it stands, the 3 double bedroom / 3 bathroom house, which has undergone considerable improvement by the current owners, would suit any number of different buyers, but for those who like a project, there is much to get excited about here as the footings and walls are already in place for the proposed two-storey extension.

Proposed Extension

The new proposed extension would sit to the side of the existing dwelling and on the ground floor, would consist of a large lounge which would be open to the current kitchen / dining room and an additional ground floor bedroom. To the first floor, there would be a good size principal bedroom with Velux Cabrio balcony, en-suite shower room and walk-in wardrobe.

The new extension has been designed to take full advantage of the beautiful Wealden countryside in which it sits, with large modern glass elements making the most of the views and natural light on offer. Planning permission was granted by Ashford Borough Council under reference 21/00606/as. Full details can be found at .

Outside

As you approach the house, you are not only struck by the position which offers both privacy and solitude, but by the stunning uninterrupted views across the beautiful countryside beyond, which quite simply take your breath away. The large south facing gardens provide a haven for children, pets, gardeners and nature lovers alike.

The property also benefits from extensive parking, a two-bay cart lodge style garage with attached secure store for bikes, ride on mower and other equipment, and a large timber summerhouse.

There is also a useful attached brick outbuilding which has been used as a gym but could be used in a variety of different ways. Please note that the garage attached to the back of this building is owned by the neighbouring property.
