Description
New Barns House is a spectacular Grade II listed country residence, built in 1820, with later additions by the current owners. The property is set in a semi-rural location and centrally situated within superb walled gardens and grounds amounting to about 3.3 acres. The elegant, well-proportioned and versatile accommodation is beautifully maintained and presented throughout and is arranged over three floors, with period features blending seamlessly with contemporary finishes. Salient points include a bespoke kitchen, luxurious bathroom suites, six bedrooms, full height sash windows, oak flooring, high ceilings, striking fireplaces, unique decorative coving, some panelled walls, underfloor heating to some rooms, air conditioning to some bedrooms, glorious walled gardens and grounds, a heated swimming pool, various outbuildings, and a detached double garage with a well-appointed studio on the first floor. Also of note is the property's excellent proximity to West Malling, with the town and station being within approx. 1 mile.
An impressive entrance hall features a sweeping staircase and leads to an elegant and well-proportioned drawing room with a double aspect and an open fireplace, a dining room with full height windows and a fireplace inset with a wood burning stove and a versatile library/games room with a fireplace and lovely views over and access to the grounds. A superb garden room has a number of full height arched windows and access to the terrace.
The stylish, double aspect kitchen/breakfast room has French doors to the terrace and is an excellent space, fitted with bespoke cabinetry, an Aga, butler sink and integral appliances.
A utility/boot room with a roof lantern, a comms room and two cloakrooms completes this floor.
A cellar provides extensive storage and also features a wine cellar.
To the first floor is the impressive principal suite comprising a bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a luxurious en suite bathroom. There are four further bedrooms, two with fitted storage and one currently utilised as a dressing room, together with a well-appointed bathroom and separate shower room.
Arranged over the second floor is a sixth bedroom of excellent proportions, served by an en suite bathroom with fitted storage.
The swathes of manicured lawn form a spectacular backdrop and a high degree of privacy to the property and amount to about 3.3 acres. A walled garden has a paved terrace and seating areas covered by a pergola, perfect for al fresco entertaining, with well-stocked beds adjacent to the superb pool complex, featuring a bar area, changing room and separate shower room. A further walled garden features a potting shed and a Victorian glasshouse.
The rest of the grounds are enhanced by varied, established planting and an area of woodland underplanted with bluebells. A set of electrically operated gates leads to the ample driveway parking. A detached triple garage has an adjoining gym/shower room and a versatile first floor studio comprising an impressive lounge bar and well-appointed kitchen. Two large barns provide additional storage.
