House For Sale £1,100,000
Four bedroom cottage with almost an acre of beautiful gardens and bespoke old buildings nestled in the stunning kent countryside!
“Lone Barn” was originally built over 300 years ago as a farm house and has been beautifully restored and improved over the years to create this fantastic home! A lot of time and attention to detail has gone in to modernise this rural retreat whilst still retain its original character and charm. The property offers the main four bedroom house plus car port and games room, stunning gardens, Larch Barn (a self-contained one bedroom cottage), The Bull Shed (a garden kitchen and store room) and a sandstone grain store currently used as a workshop but could be converted to suit a number of uses. The property is situated in West Hythe with rolling countryside on each side and views of Lympne Castle and Port Lympne Zoo in the distance.
The main house was extended around 20 years ago with a stylish blend of old and new, incorporating the original wooden beams with modern render to create a sleek finish . The accommodation now offers two large reception rooms, WC and country kitchen on the ground floor with four good size bedrooms and a shower room upstairs. Each bedroom has its own personal view of the countryside with arguably the best being in the main bedroom which overlooks the garden via a Juliette balcony and also has an en-suite shower room. Adjacent to the main house is the double car port with adjoining games room and WC – this beautiful building could easily be converted to add more living accommodation or an annexe with the games room having a suspended level which could make a sleeping area.
To the rear is a gardeners delight! Well-manicured hedges divide this fantastic space with a large lawn leading off the decked seating area with a central walkway leading to the “Rose Garden”. This private & serene space is a piece of art - for anyone looking to escape to the country for a quiet life you have to come and see these gardens!
At the bottom of the gardens is a well established orchard with a variety of fruit trees! Following further around is the kitchen garden which hosts a wonderful array of fruit and vegetables – enough for a family with still extra to preserve for friends! Part of the garden is walled with a hatch which perfectly frames the views beyond! With the kitchen garden is “The Bull Shed” which is well equipped with a modern kitchen and preparation area plus a large store room.
In the centre of the plot is the jewel in the crown that is Larch Barn, this elevated timber clad cottage has been beautifully styled and ideally positioned to offer panoramic rural views from the raised terrace. This modern cottage offers an open plan living space with well equipped kitchen, steps to a raised store room, modern bathroom and large double bedroom with electric skylight and doors leading out to the terrace. There are solar panels on the roof and the building can be accessed via a separate drive to the main house therefore would be a great holiday let. From Larch Barn there are raised wooden walkways over wild flowers which lead to the 300 year old grain store and second driveway.
Nestling on the Kent coast close to Folkestone, Hythe is one of the five original Cinque ports and offers a long stretch of beach ideal for families. Away from the beach, there are plenty of local walks to enjoy including through the Brockhill Country Park. Other activities for you to take pleasure in include trips on The Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway or electric boat trips on the Royal Military Canal Hythe.
There are also a number of attractions in the surrounding area worth a visit including Port Lympne Animal Park with its rare black rhinos and Siberian tigers. Just to the north of the town is the medieval castle ‘Westenhanger’ which is home to a replica of the 17th century ‘Discovery’, famous for its connections to Pocahontas and Jamestown, Virginia.
