Set within the Kent Downs aonb, the property consists of two adjoining modern barns and a large walled garden that benefit from full planning permission (ref 18/506662/full) for two stylish 4 bed contemporary homes. Designed to sympathetically sit within the existing period courtyard setting, the proposal utilises the modern barn structure that faces the courtyard, with new elements built on the footprint of the rear barn. The two new properties, Barnhams and Ayotes, will be link detached being joined only by a glazed roof covering a central passage. Each property has a double height open-plan living space boasting a large kitchen that open onto a private garden. Additional flexible space is provided across two floors in the front barn. A long feature roof light illuminates the central hallway of each property. Private parking areas and a period outbuilding with clocktower are also included.
The front barn was constructed circa 1985 and refitted in 2000 as a Photo/TV studio. With approx 2300 sq ft of floorspace it features a well engineered modem heavy steel frame with brick facades under a slate roof and provides a very substantial starting point for development and conversion. The rear barn built in the 1950's, is to be replaced by newly built structures offering open double height living spaces. (Current EPC rating for the entire property is C).
The walled garden to the rear has two wide central lawns, mature borders and fruit trees. Features include the old garden path and two sunken green houses with adjacent rainwater cisterns. Though only one glasshouse requires renovation under the permission, both could feasibly be restored if desired.
At the end of the garden sits an impressive tall red brick wall with a small lean to brick shed under a peg tile roof. There is suitable scope for replacement lean to greenhouses or garden room additions. To the the side of the barns as you enter the courtyard is situated the characterful brick built "Smokery" shed with a peg tile roof and a small clock tower, suitable for use as a bicycle and garden store. To the front of the barns is a cobbled driveway shared with the two cottages on the opposite side of the courtyard.
The property offers a perfect balance of country living with excellent road and rail connections. Hollingbourne is well connected via the M20 Junction 8, to both London and the continent. Hollingbourne station is just a few minutes away by car offering convenient services to London Victoria and the high speed connection to Charing Cross from Ebbsfleet is about 25 minutes away by car.
Within the surrounding countryside are numerous public footpaths to enjoy walking, including those leading to the Woodland Trust's Hucking Estate, the Pilgrim's Way, or down over the heathland to the village. Nearby is Leeds Castle and gardens, popular with local young families, and a village recreation ground with pavilion.
Hollingbourne has several excellent local pubs, a community run cafe, a village hall and a primary school.
The area also benefits from many excellent secondary and grammar schools.
