Fine & Country are delighted to present Russet Barn, an exceptional barn conversion set within a small hamlet of converted farm buildings along Broadwater Road, on the fringes of the award-winning market town of West Malling.
Idyllically nestled beyond a historic archway, this late nineteenth century hop barn was thoughtfully converted in the late 1990s, retaining its rich heritage while delivering over 2,300 square feet of refined, contemporary living.
Soaring exposed timbers, brickwork and a dramatic full height entrance hall define the homes character.
The original cart entrance, now glazed, draws light deep into the interior, creating an immediate sense of scale and warmth.
From the reception hall, you ascend to a mezzanine gallery that enhances the architectural volume and provides an ideal study area overlooking the space below.
The ground floor is arranged for both entertaining and everyday life.
The reception hall offers versatility as an additional sitting area and gives access to a useful storage cupboard and well appointed shower room.
An L shaped sitting and dining room centres around a brick fireplace with inset wood burning stove, flowing seamlessly into a country style shaker kitchen designed with hosting in mind.
A separate utility and boot room adds practicality, with direct access outside.
Windows frame views of the gardens and neighbouring oast houses, ensuring a constant connection to the surrounding landscape.
Upstairs, four generous double bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes, are arranged from the gallery landing.
The principal bedroom enjoys a peaceful rear aspect and en suite facilities, while a well appointed four piece family bathroom serves the remaining rooms.
The layout provides flexibility for guest accommodation, home working or additional reception space if desired.
The beautifully landscaped south, south-westerly facing wrap around gardens of Russet Barn complement the residence perfectly, exhibiting mature specimen trees, shrubbery and herbaceous planting.
Meandering pathways lead to numerous seating areas, an ornate Japanese inspired garden, and expansive lawns, all thoughtfully positioned to capture the sun throughout the day.
The setting is private and tranquil, with views towards neighbouring orchards and traditional farm buildings. Two garages and two additional parking spaces complete the picture.
Despite its peaceful semi-rural setting beside a working fruit farm, the property is within walking distance of the vibrant, award-winning market town of West Malling.
Its charming high street offers an eclectic mix of independent shops, boutiques, cafes, fine eateries, gastro pubs and supermarkets, together with a mainline station providing regular services to London.
The area also benefits from a range of highly regarded schooling options and excellent road connections, with convenient access to the M20 further enhancing its appeal.
Russet Barn is a rare and beautifully executed home, combining historic character, light filled space and landscaped gardens in one of Kent’s most desirable village settings.
