Full Description
Situation
This stunning property is situated off a small country lane yet is close to the centre of the popular village of Barham, which boasts an excellent Primary School, Post Office / Village Store, Public House/Restaurant, Bowls Club, active Village Hall and historic Church. Barham forms part of the picturesque Elham Valley, at the heart of the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty over which there is a wealth of walks, rides and cycle routes. A regular bus service runs through the centre of the village giving easy access to the Cathedral City of Canterbury to the north; whilst to the south lies the Channel Tunnel town of Folkestone and the Ancient Cinque Port Town of Hythe on the coast. All of which offer a wide range of shopping, recreational and educational facilities; together with high-speed mainline train services to London St Pancras. Nearby cross channel services, along with the Channel Tunnel, provide easy access into Europe.
The Property
Heaselands Barn is a striking and characterful home, offering an impressive blend of period charm and contemporary living. Features include full-height front windows, extensive exposed beams, a galleried landing, and a superb inglenook fireplace with wood-burning stove, all contributing to its unique appeal. The accommodation is wonderfully deceptive in scale, and from the moment you step inside you are immediately struck by the sense of space and light.
The triple-aspect sitting room is of grand proportions, lending itself to three distinct living zones, ideal for both relaxation and entertaining. The kitchen/breakfast room is stylish and contemporary in design, complete with a large central island, walk-in pantry, and a highly practical utility room. In addition, there is a generous dining/family room, a study/third reception room, and a cloakroom/WC completing the ground floor.
To the first floor, a superb galleried landing makes the most of the full-height entrance hall windows, overlooking the courtyard area below.
The landing leads to a family bath/shower room and three large double bedrooms, two of which benefit from built-in wardrobes. The impressive principal bedroom is particularly noteworthy, featuring a well-appointed en-suite with both a shower and a slipper bath arranged around the original beam work.
