Situation
Set along the tranquil and historic stretch of The Butts, The Barn enjoys a prime position near the western gateway of Sandwich - one of Kent's most picturesque and best-preserved medieval towns. This charming location places the property within easy walking distance of the town centre, where independent boutiques, traditional pubs, and inviting cafe's create a strong sense of community and heritage. The renowned Gazen Salts Nature Reserve is just moments away, offering scenic footpaths, bird hides, and peaceful green spaces for those who enjoy nature, dog walking, or simply a quiet place to unwind.
Sandwich also benefits from excellent transport links, with a railway station offering direct services to Canterbury, Ramsgate, and London. For leisure, nearby golf courses - including the prestigious Royal St George's - and sandy beaches along the East Kent coast add further lifestyle appeal.
The area is particularly well served by highly regarded schools, including the Sir Roger Manwood's Grammar School and Sandwich Technology School, which are within walking distance. The town also offers excellent primary schooling options, such as Sandwich Junior School and Sandwich Infant School, with a number of reputable independent and state secondary schools being situated in nearby Canterbury and Thanet.
The Property
Originally constructed as an industrial building and thoughtfully converted for residential use around 1900, this exceptional property offers an impressive blend of space, character, and versatility. Set over three floors, it provides a rare opportunity to enjoy expansive family living with the added benefit of a fully self-contained three-bedroom apartment - ideal for generating a rental income, housing extended family, or offering private guest accommodation.
Ground Floor
The main entrance opens into a generous and flexible ground floor layout designed for modern family life. At its heart is an open-plan L-shaped kitchen and dining room, perfect for entertaining and daily living. The kitchen is fitted with a range of cabinetry, integrated appliances, and plentiful workspace.
Adjoining the kitchen is a bright and airy oak framed conservatory, offering views and access to the rear garden - ideal for year-round enjoyment. The adjacent, spacious living room houses a large efficient wood burner and patio doors. A ground floor cloakroom/WC adds everyday convenience, while the converted garage has been transformed into a superb family/games room with an adjoining utility area, creating further practical and recreational space.
First Floor
The first floor houses four double bedrooms, including a principal suite complete with an en-suite shower room and a cosy extended seating area, perfect for enjoying peaceful views over the rear garden.
A separate family shower room services the remaining bedrooms. One of the bedrooms leads to an inner hallway, which offers access to a private roof terrace and a connecting door to the second-floor apartment, giving flexibility to combine or separate the living arrangements depending on lifestyle needs.
Second Floor Apartment
With its own private entrance over the former garage roof and separate gas and electricity supplies, the second-floor apartment is a fully independent living space that enjoys stunning elevated views across the town. Ideal for letting, guest accommodation or extended family, the apartment includes a welcoming entrance hall, well-proportioned sitting/dining room, a separate kitchen, three bedrooms, and a bathroom.
