The Old Barn presents a unique opportunity for renovation in the picturesque hamlet of Marshside, nestled within Kent's stunning countryside. This Grade II listed property boasts traditional black weather-boarded façades and expansive living areas that are ready for a thoughtful makeover. The vaulted entrance hall is a striking feature, showcasing parquet flooring and large windows that allow abundant natural light to flood the space. The versatile layout includes a spacious sitting room highlighted by a cozy fireplace, while an adjacent room currently functioning as a study could be easily transformed into a fifth bedroom.
The dining room offers potential for reconfiguration alongside the kitchen/breakfast area, which is fitted with wooden units and terracotta tiles. Practical spaces such as the utility room and boot room enhance the functionality of this country home. The first-floor galleried landing is another highlight, allowing for creative use or additional sitting space. With four bedrooms, including a principal suite with en suite facilities, there’s ample accommodation ripe for modernisation.
Outside, the property features gardens that wrap around the barn, offering tranquil views and potential landscaping improvements. A vegetable garden with established fruit bushes complements the outdoor space, while outbuildings currently used for storage present options for conversion into home offices or guest accommodations (subject to necessary consents).
Designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), Marshside combines rural charm with convenient access to amenities, including excellent walking trails and local dining options. With good transport links to Canterbury and beyond, this property not only provides a serene lifestyle but also represents an attractive investment opportunity.
