5 bed barn conversion for sale

Laddingford, Manor Farm ME18

Tucked away along a private road in the sought-after village of Laddingford, this exceptional five-bedroom converted oast house offers a rare opportunity to own a truly iconic Kentish home, blending character, space and modern practicality in equal measure.

Originally built in 1904 and thoughtfully converted approximately 35 years ago, the property showcases the charm of its heritage through the striking roundel rooms, impressive 16ft oast spaces and unique layout, whilst benefiting from a host of upgrades and improvements over recent years.

You are welcomed via a generous entrance, leading through to a versatile and well balanced ground floor. The kitchen sits at the front of the home, currently open to an additional reception room, offering flexibility for those who may wish to reconfigure the space. There has previously been planning permission granted to extend the kitchen into the garage and create a separate utility room, presenting exciting scope for further enhancement if desired.

The accommodation flows beautifully, with the distinctive round rooms creating inviting and characterful living spaces, without the need for specialist furniture, making this a home that is both unique and practical.

Upstairs, five well proportioned bedrooms are arranged across the upper floors, two benefitting from the charm of the oast roundels, alongside family bathroom facilities. The property also offers excellent storage with three loft spaces, all of which present potential for conversion (subject to the necessary permissions).

Externally, the home continues to impress. The south-facing Japanese inspired garden provides a tranquil and private retreat, with the left hand side still offering scope to further mature and personalise. To the front, there is ample parking for several vehicles as well as two garages; one to the front and one to the rear of the property, alongside further parking making it ideal for families and entertaining alike.

The property is accessed via a private road, adding to the exclusivity and community feel of the setting.

Practical upgrades have been carefully maintained, including a roof replacement in October 2025, a boiler installed approximately 7 years ago, alongside a brand new gas meter and thermostat. All windows have been replaced with seven new windows in 2025.
New cream carpets installed at the end of 2025, adding a clean and contemporary finish throughout.

Location-wise, Laddingford offers the perfect balance of countryside living and connectivity with easy access to Paddock Wood and the M25 but also has the benefits of being surrounded by picturesque walks, local pubs and village charm, still providing convenient access to nearby towns such as Yalding, Paddock Wood and Maidstone. Reputable schools (private and grammar) within Tonbridge, Sevenoaks, Tunbridge Wells and Maidstone are within easy reach and a range of everyday amenities making this an ideal setting for both families and commuters alike.
