5 Bed Barn Conversion For Sale

A charming detached period three bedroom barn conversion with attached two bedroom cottage, parking and garaging, enjoying arguably one of the finest rural positions in Kent commanding panoramic countryside views.

Iden Barn provides well considered accommodation arranged over one floor comprising an L-shaped entrance hallway, generously proportioned sitting room with feature open fireplace and French doors opening onto the rear garden, hand-built Shaker style country kitchen/dining room, a master bedroom with patio doors opening onto the rear garden and en-suite shower room, two further bedrooms and a family four piece bathroom.

The entire 51'3" x 18'7" (15.62m x 5.66m) roof space remains unaltered from the original, displaying a wonderful arrangement of original beams, but offering the prime opportunity of converting the loft to additional accommodation, subject to the necessary planning consent.

The unlisted property also benefits from a separate two bedroom Garden Cottage which currently generates an income from the holiday letting industry and features a sitting room, fitted kitchen, two bedrooms, a shower room and a small lawned garden with patio and views across farmland to the rear.

Outside, the property enjoys off road parking for several vehicles along with a large garage. The landscaped, split-level rear garden is lawned and has a generous patio area, ideal for entertaining and holding balmy evening barbeques.

Iden Barn is situated 0.5 miles along a small, seldom used country lane on the fringes of the Kent village of Egerton, offering unrivalled views over rolling countryside with the North Downs in the distance.

Egerton is an award winning, picturesque rural village with a post office stores, sports hall, well regarded primary school, village hall, petrol station and pub. The area is rich in natural beauty and boasts an abundance of public footpaths and horse riding routes from the front door, providing an superb playground for the outdoor enthusiast. Other local amenities can be found at the larger villages of Charing and Headcorn, with regular train services to London from both villages in addition to Pluckley station, some three miles distant.

Egerton is approximately seven miles to the west of the market town of Ashford, with its excellent shopping and leisure facilities, choice of schools and Ashford International station which benefits from the High Speed 37 minute service to London St Pancras.

Properties of this quality in such a rare location seldom appear on the market and we strongly recommend an internal inspection to fully appreciate the accommodation on offer.
