Bethersden, Ashford, TN26

Set in a rural position near Bethersden, this contemporary single-storey barn conversion provides four bedrooms and open-plan living, with countryside views and south-facing grounds. The property was created within the last five years on the footprint of a former cow barn. The main house extends to approximately 2,248 sq ft and includes a large living and family room with a wood-burning stove and bifold doors, a fitted kitchen with integrated Neff appliances and a granite-topped island, plus utility and plant rooms. The principal bedroom has an en-suite shower room and doors to the terrace. A second bedroom has its own bathroom, with two further double bedrooms served by the family bathroom. The gated approach leads to parking and grounds stated to extend to approximately 2.5 acres, although this area is unmeasured. A rear terrace faces the paddocks, and the driveway and entrance are described as unfinished, allowing the next owner to choose their finish. A detached two-storey outbuilding includes a double garage, workshop, an additional ground-floor room and two rooms above. The outbuilding requires completion; possible uses mentioned include office, games room or additional accommodation, subject to any necessary consents. The listing states that the house has solar panels, a ground source heat pump, underfloor heating, rainwater harvesting and heat recovery, and gives an EPC rating of B. Services include mains water and electricity and private drainage. A public right of way runs along one boundary. The setting is described as being within reach of Bethersden, Ashford and Tenterden, with scope to finish the approach and outbuilding and to consider other changes subject to the relevant consents.
