#TheGardenOfEngland
An impressive barn conversion which is beautifully situated within the fold of the North Downs, amongst some of the most impressive countryside in the area.
Orchid Barn is set on the side of a valley just below the North Downs village of Waltham. Surrounded by stunning countryside, there are many walks and rides in the immediate vicinity.
Orchid Barn is one of four carefully converted barns in an attractive enclave with period farmhouse and arranged around a farmstead style courtyard.
The area is surprisingly convenient for access to the City of Canterbury with its cultural interests, Universities and retail shopping facilities.
School buses run throughout the wider area and can be used to access schools both in the State and Independent sectors, including some excellent primary schools as well as grammar schools for boys and girls.
Major travel links in the surrounding area include access to the A2/M2 motorway, Channel Tunnel near Folkestone and HS1 stations at Ashford and Canterbury, along with local mainline stations including Chartham.
Orchid Barn
A stunning barn conversion, originally converted from the barns and outbuildings of Yockletts Farm in 2009. The building itself dates back to the early 1800s. The central feature of Orchid Barn is the stunning open plan living accommodation with exposed timbers and double storey open vaulted ceiling, in addition there is plenty of light from glazing on either side.
A cosier element is a contemporary wood burning stove.
There is a well fitted kitchen with oak surfaces and integral appliances. There are mellow oak floors and low level lighting whilst the first floor continues with considerable character, including exposed timbers, vaulted ceilings, oak floors and modern style bathrooms.
The Gardens
The property enjoys an excellent outside al fresco dining space in the form of a raised timber deck with plenty of room for entertaining. Beyond this area is a large, fenced paddock. At the front of the property is space for cars together with a double garage.

Mains water and electricity are connected to the property. Private drainage and gas is via LPG.

Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s

The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on January 31, 2022
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
