Homestall Lane, Goodnestone, Faversham, Kent ME13 See map

East Homestall Barn occupies half of substantial Grade II listed Kentish barn. Dating from the 17th century, the barn, former stables and gardens have been extensively renovated to an extremely high standard by the current owners.

Central to the barn is the reception hall with oak staircase, vaulted ceiling and galleried landing.

Four ground floor reception rooms follow a loosely open-plan layout, with areas defined by partial dividing walls and vertical timbers. These include the dual aspect music room, living room, library with fireplace/log-burner and the games room.

There is also an office/gym with French doors on the ground floor, which could be used as an additional reception room or bedroom.

The kitchen/dining room occupies the former stables and is the hub of the home and a great entertaining space. The kitchen has slate tiled flooring and French doors leading to the garden. The kitchen itself has handmade solid wood units, marble and oak work surfaces and a central island with a large breakfast bar.

Upstairs, the galleried landing leads to four well-presented double bedrooms. Two are en suite, including the generous principal bedroom. The large family bathroom has marble tiling, a free-standing cast iron bath, separate shower unit and twin washbasins.

At the front of the property, the driveway leads to two parking areas with space for up to 6 cars. The garage provides storage and workshop space and is accessible from the kitchen as well as the driveway.

The south-facing garden has been expertly landscaped to provide a stunning backdrop to the house and an extension of the living space.

The kitchen opens onto a large slate terrace where a pergola with louvred roof covers a bespoke outdoor kitchen with a sink, double fridge, gas and charcoal barbecues, gas hob, marble worktops and a breakfast bar.

The garden is comprised of several distinct areas, including the tennis court screened by mature planting, gravel garden with oak pergola and a fire pit, formal lawn surrounded by yew hedging, a wildflower meadow with fruit tree orchard, a vegetable garden with raised beds and a greenhouse, a play area and a large shed.

The property is in a rural position less than two miles from the centre of the historic medieval market town of Faversham, nestled between the rural beauty of the Downs and the sweeping flatlands of the North Kent marshes. The town provides a good range of shopping, educational and leisure facilities, whilst the Cathedral City of Canterbury and the county town of Maidstone provide further variety.

Communications to London and the coast are good via the M2 and the M20, connecting to the M25 national motorway network, and via the A2 to Dover. The Channel Tunnel at Folkestone offers a fast crossing to the Continent, supplementing the ferry port at Dover. The mainline rail service from Faversham station offers regular services to London St Pancras, Cannon Street and Victoria from around 66 minutes.
