Shipbourne Road, Tonbridge, Kent TN11

This delightful barn conversion is part of an enclave of 12 converted farm buildings in an aonb located along a private road with delightful views over the Kent countryside and the superb 1000 acre Fairlawn Estate. It nestles in 0.22 acres of delightful gardens with a separate entrance to a useful outbuilding that includes an office/studio. Externally the barn oozes period character with its wisteria covered frontage but internally the contemporary design flows throughout the property. This is beautifully illustrated in the well-proportioned nearly 30ft triple aspect sitting room with bespoke shelving and cupboards, French doors to the terrace and an lpg fired stove. There are French doors from the sitting room and the dining room from the hall and, when these are open, it provides a great overall entertainment space while a dozen guests can enjoy a meal in the charming dining room. The inner hall provides access to a cloakroom, a utility room with an external door, stairs to the first floor and the contemporary kitchen/breakfast room. This light room includes a plethora of fitted units housing a myriad of integrated appliances, a concealed pantry and space for a table and chairs.

Upstairs the bedrooms have high vaulted ceilings and original beams. The landing includes an airing cupboard, access to a family bathroom and four bedrooms including a guest double with an ensuite shower, another with fitted cupboards, a third with access to the superb roof terrace and the delightful principal suite. This includes a walk-in wardrobe/dressing room, an ensuite shower and French doors to the wonderful roof terrace where you revel in the surrounding countryside views including the Fairlawn Estate.

The separate building features an office and studio and could also probably be adapted as a separate annex for family members, subject to the necessary planning permissions.

The gardens include attractive wooden pedestrian gates that open onto a secluded courtyard style terrace while a further courtyard area includes a relaxing seating area surrounding a sunken hot tub. There is also a large lawn interspersed with specimen trees and shrub beds surrounded by hedging providing privacy and security.

What the owners say: We love our home and the secluded and safe location but feel it is time to downsize. At the same time, we have access to good schools, regular trains to London and even a parade of shops only a mile away.

We can walk to Shipbourne
