Seller Insight
I purchased this architecturally unique converted barn off plan and was therefore able to put my own personal stamp on it. The iconic timber façade really reflects the rural environment, and I also thought it was an ideal location to bring up my children as we were and are still surrounded by farmland with footpaths giving us the opportunity to enjoy a variety of family walks right from our doorstep.” Says the owner.
“I’ve lived here for 21 years now and have recently refurbished and decorated throughout to reflect a more contemporary living space complete with new bathrooms, boiler and an improved EPC rating. The driveway has recently been completed with substantial planting which is a great addition to the entrance and the rear garden was landscaped a few years ago, so it is now fully established and attracts many birds, bees and butterflies, as well as a generous patio area to entertain friends and family,”
“The location is ideal, as it is feels rural within a country lane, yet is only a few minutes away from good road and rail links. We are fortunate within the local area to have good schools, a golf club, health clubs and spas, the Horse & Groom pub with restaurant, Stanhill Farm, local shops with library and Bluewater just a short drive away.”
“The garden has been landscaped and is truly beautiful now. It’s full of established plants and along with colourful flowers that butterflies and bees find irresistible. There is a little play area for children and a large patio in the courtyard which is perfect for relaxing and entertaining.
“The lounge is huge and is great for parties. I’ve always enjoyed hosting birthdays, Easter, and Christmas celebrations here. The house has met all our needs over the years and I love all the rooms equally but perhaps my favourite space would be the upper hall where I have my reading chair and books. Huge windows overlook the garden and the sunlight beams down onto the staircase creating a very calm and relaxed space. *
