In a wonderful, semi-rural location, at the head of a small, private access lane, an extraordinary conversion of an expansive agricultural barn, enjoying captivating views over lovely, rolling Kent countryside. Externally modest to preserve its position with the stunning landscape, the property is the result of an exciting and imaginative project undertaken by the current owners. An intelligent and biophilic, well considered design, that brings the exceptional setting into the heart of the property with the desire to create a forward thinking, principled home for the 21st century, space has been allocated to allow the property to become off grid as planning permission has been granted for photo voltaic panels on the roof with full provision included within the mechanical and electrical design and wiring installed for both PV and power walls. The brief was to convert and transform the original structure, employing as many British materials as possible (with the exception of the Swedish air source heat pumps and treatment to the larch cladding) including English steel, larch and oak. The free flowing, energising layout is arranged over three mezzanine levels connected by easy rising oak staircases and extends to 7,900 square feet. Ceilings are tall and the bespoke, powder-coated aluminium windows and doors perfectly frame the magnificent views, which together with some large skylights, allow for an abundance of natural light to flood through the house. There is a sociable flow from one area to the next, giving an almost gallery-like appearance particularly within the inner courtyard, while the open-plan living space has a fireplace ready for a woodburning stove and opens through to the kitchen/breakfast room, where cabinetry is in a contemporary style and there is a large central island. Utility areas include a large laundry room and a very stylish wet room is finished with Tadelatk polished plaster and Mosaic Factory tiling. Laid out across the first floor are five, well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal suite includes a bedroom area which has floor to ceiling sliding doors with frameless glazed interior balustrades, a wide dressing room and an ensuite bathroom fitted with a marble double basin, there is a separate walk-in shower being completed with marble herringbone tiles with space for a sauna, as well as a separate WC with hand basin. Elsewhere is a guest suite with walk-in closet and plumbing for an en-suite bath and shower room, as well as three further bedrooms, two with en-suite bathrooms, each finished with Clayworks plaster and again fitted with natural stone sanitaryware.
