Kick off your shoes and take in sweeping views from the mezzanine of this vast 17th-century Kentish barn. Squishy, feet-up sofas, inviting reading nooks, and a beautifully designed kitchen will quickly draw you in for a getaway filled with slow, comfortable days indoors.
This five-bedroom historic home forms the setting for a restful escape, surrounded by Kentish farmland and apple orchards. With its own private driveway and sprawling garden, guests and their pets can enjoy complete privacy and tranquillity here in the countryside just outside Canterbury.
Sleeping up to 10 guests across five spacious bedrooms, The Manor Barn is an ideal escape for multi-generational family trips, or simply groups seeking some space of their own. On the ground floor are three accessible bedrooms and two bathrooms – making it a great choice for those with considerations around mobility – while two striking staircases lead upstairs to two additional mezzanine bedrooms, each with their own en suite. The spacious living area has a log burner and an impressive dining area, great for shared meals and celebrations. In the well-equipped kitchen, guests will find everything they need, whether preparing breakfast or hiring a local chef for the evening.
Four legged friends and children will love the large, lawned garden – with seemingly endless space to explore, and the patio area is ready for that promised barbeque. Fancy a splash? Guests may also enjoy access to the owners’ heated swimming pool in the warmer months, adding an extra touch of fun and fitness for those longer summer days.
Located in the heart of the wine garden of England, Kent's celebrated vineyards and wine estates are within easy reach. The closest, Tattinger's Domaine Evremond, lies just the other side of the village and is a newly-minted English sparkling wine estate featuring spectacular views.
Whether you’re planning a family celebration, countryside escape, or a relaxing break with friends, this spacious barn is a wonderful setting to unwind and make lasting memories.
