Situated deep in the Weald of Kent, this converted barn is packed full of character. Located on the grounds of the owners’ own home and garden, the barn has been lovingly restored to create a unique and welcoming space. The wood-clad exterior, timber beams and traditional furnishings give the home an authentic countryside feel, and you’ll be set just yards from a great farm shop that also happens to serve breakfast and light lunches in its cafe. A twenty-minute walk will take you into Cranbrook, and the beautiful town of Royal Tunbridge Wells is only half an hour away by car. Perfect as a base for walkers or cyclists, you'll find Bedgebury Pinetum and Bewl Water Reservoir close by, and the area has several National Trust properties to visit, including Sissinghurst Castle Garden, and more than fifty vineyards and breweries that are open to visitors.
