Haycross Lane, Woodchurch TN26

Hawthorn Barn is a rare find, tucked away along a quiet country lane between the picturesque village of Woodchurch, and the historic town of Tenterden, the ‘Jewel of the Weald’. A self-build plot of around an acre with full planning permission for an exceptional five-bedroom home. Currently occupied by a redundant agricultural building, the site has consent for its replacement with a stunning contemporary Kentish barn designed by Kent Design Studio, blending rural heritage with striking modern lines and wide expanses of glass.

The dwelling is comprised of two separate elements connected via a glazed link. The single storey building is dedicated to day-to-day living with with a vast open-plan kitchen, dining area and living room. Adjacent to this can be found a separate sitting room, study, pantry, utility/boot room and cloakroom. The two storey element includes five double bedrooms, the principal ground floor suite opening directly onto the garden terrace.

The expansive West-facing terrace will draw in the evening sun, and the well stocked, mature pond creates a haven for wildlife in the garden, with the view of grazing sheep in the neighbouring fields just beyond. It’s an opportunity to build something remarkable in a truly beautiful Wealden countryside setting.

Planning permission was granted by Ashford Borough Council under reference 21/02220/as.
