A beautifully finished single-storey barn surrounded by attractive countryside and close to bustling market towns offering a delectable slice of the relaxed Kent lifestyle. A perfect base for couples and small families, this impressive converted barn is just outside the hamlet of Gill’s Green, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Tucked away in a peaceful haven next to the owner’s home, it has scenic walks straight from the doorstep. Bring your furry best friend and you’ll have a ball exploring this beautiful rural area.
The contemporary design of this single-storey property makes the most of the building’s character while adding superb modern amenities. The lounge area – gathered around a huge, brick-lined fireplace with a wood burner – flows into a dining area and then a sleek island kitchen with integrated appliances. Bi-fold doors flood this room with light, while the high ceiling makes it feel enormously spacious. Along a corridor, the utility room would be the ideal place for your pup’s feeding and water bowls. There are two bedrooms – a super-king-size (twin on request) with an en-suite bathroom, and a king-size, which has use of the family shower room/WC. There are two outdoor spaces in which to relax: a large patio with table and chairs and a decked area with furniture and a charcoal BBQ. Beyond is a large paddock, shared with the owner, that has far-reaching countryside views.
Kent’s High Weald offers more than 2,000km of footpaths, byways and bridleways where four-pawed chums can amble sedately or run to their heart’s content (we’re looking at you, springers). Drive the 2.5 miles to the pretty village of Cranbrook, with its impressive windmill, and from here you can enjoy a 6-mile circular walk that takes you as far as the Sissinghurst estate. Bedgebury Pinetum, 7 miles, is another perfect place for a run off the lead, while both Bodiam Castle, 7.5 miles, and Scotney Castle, 10 miles, welcome dogs on leads in their grounds.
