Barn conversion for sale in Foxhole Lane, Cranbrook TN18

Set on the rural fringes of Hawkhurst and yet with countryside walks back to the village and schools, this charming unlisted barn conversion has been imaginatively configured to give a truly contemporary “industrial chic” feel with polished concrete floors, wide expanses of glass and steel whilst keeping the integrity of its agricultural heritage.

The ground floor is predominantly given over to one single open plan space of 47’ with zoned areas for relaxing, entertaining and dining with full height sliding glass doors and top hung windows and a roof lantern providing an abundance of natural light whilst the kitchen area is off-set in a raised area with slate flooring and oak cabinetry, leading to a useful utility room.

On the first floor are three good double bedrooms, the principal having an ensuite bathroom and large full height window overlooking the rear garden and access to a balcony, the middle bedroom has sliding glass doors accessing the same balcony with wonderful views out and the bedroom to the front has fitted wardrobes and a lower level behind a false wall with a further fitted bed and a pretty triangular window offering yet more countryside views. These bedrooms are well-served by the family bathroom.

Outside

There is a parking area and brick pathway leading to the front door with an adjacent large stone barn with an open area which has lapsed planning to convert to ancillary accommodation or a studio/party barn. An additional path leads down to an area of formal garden bordered by box hedging, a kitchen garden with raised beds and various terraced areas. There are further natural wild meadow and paddock areas as well as some delightful woodland and ponds, all enjoying the far-reaching countryside views.

Situation

Set in an idyllic location between the villages of Sandhurst and Hawkhurst where there are Waitrose and Tesco supermarkets, local independent shops and cafes, the Kino digital cinema and excellent gastro pubs.
