House For Sale £1,650,000
Available as A whole or in two lots
Ruffynes Oast and Barn are located on the edge of the village of Aldington surrounded by glorious countryside on the escarpment above the Romney Marsh. The property provides a beautifully presented home, thoughtfully created from a picturesque former farmstead with the house occupying a mellow Grade II Listed oast, stable and granary. The Kentish barn, which sits adjacent, offers great potential to create further accommodation or to house a business.
The buildings are arranged around a large quadrangle which creates a very special setting across which the different elements of the property communicate. The house and barn offer something quite unique as a whole but could also be separated so that each could retain good levels of privacy.
Lot 1 - ruffynes oast
Ruffynes Oast has flexible accommodation with fantastic reception areas across two sides of the garden. A stunning kitchen/breakfast/family room is at the heart of the home with a cosy snug in the roundel. Whilst this provides a comfortable everyday living space, its relationship with the generous drawing, dining and sitting rooms within the former stables across the courtyard means that there is plenty of room for entertaining. Bi-fold doors allow masses of natural light and enable a seamless transition from one wing to the other across the beautiful garden which is in itself a ‘room’.
The adjoining former granary houses two first floor en suite bedrooms and a ground floor bedroom and shower room. These currently work well as children’s rooms. The principal bedroom suite is a generously proportioned room above the drawing room and a charming en suite guest bedroom is found in the roundel, each set to either end of the house with their own staircases making for a private and flexible arrangement.
Lot 2 - the barn
Ruffynes Barn is a Grade II listed, five bay barn understood to date to the 16th century. The barn is timber-framed and weather-boarded with a tall ragstone wall to one end. Currently used as a wedding venue, the barn also has permission for conversion into a single residential dwelling with a new double bay car barn, associated amenity and parking.

The proposed layout provides for a five bedroom home with a wonderful open plan living space at its heart. The barn has enormous potential as a business space or perhaps a fantastic high end holiday rental, subject to any necessary consents.
Ruffynes Oast and Barn are situated on the edge of the village of Aldington, to the south-east of Ashford, surrounded by rolling countryside.
The village has a post office, butchers, bakers, public house and primary school. The village hall sits adjacent to the green and there are tennis, football and crickets clubs. Nearby Ashford has a good range of shops for day-to-day need as well as some excellent out of town shopping at the McArthur Glen Outlet.
Transport links in the area are excellent, with the M20 a short drive away and Ashford International providing High Speed rail services to London St Pancras (from 36 minutes). The area has good access to the Continent.
The property is approached via two five-bar gates which open onto an attractive gravelled driveway leading to the double-bay garaging and adjoining single garage.
The garden has been well landscaped to provide structure, interest and the perfect backdrop to the different areas of the house. Planting includes established borders, espalier fruit trees and silver birch.
The large courtyard between the buildings is laid to lawn and provides a fantastic extension to the house with large terraces adjacent to the kitchen and reception rooms.
The Barn has a separate driveway accessed through double five bar gates. Ragstone walls and fencing provide a sheltered south-west facing garden and parking area.
