Stunning Barn Conversion with separate detached annexe housing two self contained apartments all set in just under two acres.
Stunning memory making family home!
North Barn, a truly exceptional countryside retreat set just outside the picturesque village of Great Chart. This beautifully converted single-storey barn offers a rare combination of rustic charm, modern comfort, and outstanding versatility, all nestled within just under two acres of private, landscaped grounds.
Originally converted in the 1980s, the property showcases attractive ragstone and brick elevations beneath a traditional Kent peg tile roof. Inside, the home is rich in character, with vaulted, high-pitched ceilings and exposed timber beams creating a sense of space and timeless appeal. Flagstone flooring and large windows enhance the warm, light-filled interiors, while framing picturesque views across the gardens, paddocks, and surrounding countryside.
At the heart of the home lies an impressive open-plan kitchen and dining area, ideal for both everyday family life and entertaining. While the main sitting room provides a cosy retreat, complete with an inglenook fireplace and wood-burning stove. Additional reception spaces include a dedicated study and a bright, double-glazed garden room with direct access to a roof terrace—perfect for relaxing or working from home.
The accommodation comprises three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a comfortable principal suite with ensuite, all designed to offer peace and privacy.
A standout feature of North Barn is the inclusion of two separate, self-contained one-bedroom annexes. These versatile spaces are ideal for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, home offices, creative studios, or potential income generation (subject to the necessary consents), all while maintaining privacy from the main residence.
The grounds are equally impressive, approached via secure wooden gates opening onto a large gravel driveway with ample parking. The beautifully maintained gardens surround the property, while two adjoining paddocks—totalling approximately one acre—offer excellent potential for equestrian use, hobby farming, or simply embracing a rural lifestyle.
Despite its tranquil setting, the property benefits from excellent connectivity. The nearby town of Ashford provides a wide range of amenities, including well-regarded schools, shopping facilities such as Waitrose and the McArthurGlen Designer Outlet, and superb transport links. Ashford International Station offers high-speed services to London St Pancras in around 38 minutes, while the M20 provides easy access to the wider motorway network and the Channel Tunnel.
Surrounded by idyllic countryside, the area is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, with an abundance of scenic footpaths and nearby woodland including Worten Wood, ideal for walking, cycling, and enjoying nature.
North Barn presents a rare opportunity to acquire a unique and flexible home that perfectly balances period character, modern living, and expansive outdoor space—offering not just a property, but a lifestyle.
