"This conversion of a traditional barn retains the character and charm of its origins, with a red brick and black timber exterior and exposed beams, complemented by quality fittings and features throughout. The property offers more than 2,500 sq ft of light filled accommodation arranged over two floors.

The reception hall is well proportioned and well lit, with full height windows flanking the main entrance. This versatile space provides ample capacity for dining, study, or informal seating arrangements. Glazed double doors lead to the spacious sitting room, which benefits from windows on three elevations and features a contemporary fireplace set into the chimney breast.

The kitchen dining room has marble patterned flooring and is fitted with a range of wall and floor units with grey work surfaces and includes a double oven and hob. There is ample space for a large dining table.

A staircase rises from the reception hall to the landing, which offers potential for use as a library or study area. The generous principal bedroom, with windows on three sides, features exposed beams, a triple wardrobe, and an en suite shower room with a generous walk in shower enclosure. The three additional bedrooms are all well proportioned and share access to the family bathroom, which is fitted with a bath and separate walk in shower.

Electric hardwood double gates open to the gravelled driveway that leads between The Barn and the wildlife pond to a parking area for several vehicles.

Adjacent to The Barn is a gravelled seating area with a large central water feature. An adjoining outbuilding fitted with an outdoor bar makes this a perfect, sheltered spot for entertaining.

The garden is bounded by a stone wall and lawns that wrap around the property, bordered by mature herbaceous beds in calming lavender and lilac shades, with a corner seating area and further outbuildings for garden storage.

The wildlife pond with water lilies, grasses and a wooden bridge to an island is also home to a hexagonal floating house for ducks.

A bark chipped play area nearby is one of the safe spaces for children to let off steam, along with the mini football pitch currently staked out on the field.

A charging station for the robotic lawn mower sits at the edge of the field. For keen cooks and gardeners, there is also a small kitchen garden, with several vegetable beds.

The Barn is set in a rural location and only a mile from the centre of Mersham, a highly desirable and accessible village to the south east of Ashford, with a traditional pub and village stores. Ashford itself has well regarded independent and grammar schools and a good array of town centre shops. Together, Ashford and Canterbury provide a complete range of recreational, cultural and shopping facilities including theatres, cinemas and the well regarded Ashford Designer Outlet.

The Kent Downs National Landscape is a just 5 miles away and the High Weald National Landscape around 12 miles, both offering beautiful walks through unspoilt countryside.

Mersham is well situated for commuting to London whilst being near enough to the Channel Tunnel to drive to France for lunch. The nearby M20 Junction 10 gives good road access, and Ashford International offers High Speed rail services to London St Pancras from around 36 minutes."
