Central Village Location
An enchanting four-bedroom detached barn conversion, rich in history and period character, occupying a particularly enviable position at the upper end of Charing's historic High Street. Set within the heart of this much-loved semi-rural village, Carpenters Barn combines the romance and individuality of a historic building with the comfort and practicality of a thoughtfully created family home.
Believed to have originally formed part of the neighbouring Carpenters House, the barn has enjoyed a fascinating past, serving a variety of purposes since its construction. In 1978, it was sympathetically converted to create a distinctive residential home, retaining an abundance of original features and character that give the property its wonderfully warm and timeless appeal.
Approached through an enclosed and beautifully landscaped courtyard garden, the hardwood front door opens into a welcoming inner hallway with exposed brick and ragstone wall, with a staircase rising to the first floor and access to a cloakroom. Beyond lies a stunning kitchen/dining room with a separate utility room, while at the far end of the home is the inviting formal sitting room. This weloming room forms the atmospheric heart of the property, centred around an impressive inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove, creating a wonderfully cosy and characterful focal point. French doors open directly onto the cottage garden, drawing in natural light and providing a delightful connection between the elegant interior and the private outdoor space.
Upstairs, a spacious landing provides a sense of openness and leads to four well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly appealing, featuring a separate dressing area and en-suite shower room. Three further bedrooms are complemented by a luxurious four-piece family bathroom, providing comfortable accommodation for both family and guests.
Outside, the enclosed landscaped courtyard provides a wonderfully private setting in which to relax and entertain, while a driveway offers off-road parking for one vehicle and leads to a single garage.
The property is further enhanced by gas-fired central heating and sealed-unit double glazing to most windows, but it is the wealth of original and reclaimed character that truly sets Carpenters Barn apart. Exposed timbers, Kentish ragstone and areas of traditional brickwork combine to create a home filled with texture, warmth and history.
A rare opportunity to acquire a genuinely individual home in an exceptional village setting, Carpenters Barn offers a captivating blend of heritage, charm and modern family living.
