Description

Nestled within a charming rural hamlet, this distinctive detached barn conversion, dating back to 1826, offers 2,417 sqft of versatile living space alongside an integral annexe. While the property showcases attractive brick and flint construction and has been well-maintained by the current owner, it presents opportunities for further enhancement to cater to modern tastes. The property features an expansive open-plan reception area accentuated by a vaulted ceiling, hardwood flooring, and period characteristics such as traditional wooden doors and a prominent brick fireplace with a wood-burning stove. The home includes two upstairs double bedrooms reached via separate staircases. On the ground floor, an entrance hallway leads into the principal sitting area that transitions into a dining room and subsequently an open kitchen equipped with contemporary units and granite countertops. A utility room provides additional storage and access to a family shower room. Crucially, the integral annexe can function as guest accommodation or be merged into the main property for extra bedrooms, enhancing its appeal for families or those considering rental potential. Outside, the property sits on approximately 2.3 acres (TBV) which includes paddocks, stabling facilities with water and power connections, plus ample space for outdoor pursuits such as equestrian activities or gardening. Planning permissions may be possible for further structures like a detached garage or riding arena on the land subject to local regulations. The surrounding gardens combine privacy with beautiful landscaping featuring various plants and seating areas suitable for al fresco gatherings. Located near Petham village with its amenities including schools and shops, as well as being within reach of Canterbury's cultural offerings and transport links makes this property not only a comfortable home but also a solid investment opportunity.
