Ladham Road, Goudhurst, Cranbrook, Kent, TN17

Set along a quiet country lane on the rural periphery of Goudhurst village, Bakers Farm Barn occupies the most idyllic of locations. It really is a peaceful haven, with nothing but birdsong to disturb the peace and quiet, and fantastic views.

Bakers Farm Barn is an unlisted barn that was converted into a residential dwelling about 40 years ago, sympathetically converted to honor the building’s origins. Today it is a wonderful family home accompanied by circa 4 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens and adjacent paddock, with the possibility to purchase an additional 1.2 acres.

The accommodation is set across two floors. To the ground floor is a sitting room, kitchen/breakfast room, dining room, utility room and cloak room, with principal bedroom and en suite shower room, 3 further bedrooms and family bathroom to the first floor.

Outside the property is approached via a traditional five bar gate to arrive at an area of parking adjacent to the double garage. The gardens to the rear are the real wow factor. Enjoying full sun throughout the day, the terrace is the ideal spot in which to enjoy the view across the lawn, adjoining paddock and beyond. An expanse of lawn is the right place for a game of lawn tennis, badminton or 5-a-side football. The paddock has its own separate entrance and has a trough water supply.

Properties in such an idyllic setting, especially in Ladham Road, do not come to the market very often.
