Goddards Green Barn is a fine and characterful example of a Grade II listed 17th century barn and oast conversion with garage, home studio all nestled in attractive gardens and paddocks of approximately 5 acres.

This wonderful property has been sympathetically renovated by the current owner, retaining an authentic barn and essential integrity with a wealth of period charm and character including exposed timbers, wooden floorboards and open fire contrasting with modern features including a Sonos speaker system.

This property's location allows it to boast both town and country, being conveniently located within Cranbrook School catchment area and within reach to local amenities, 0.6 of a mile away.

On entering this property, you are immediately greeted with an impressive entrance hall with a galleried mezzanine above and exposed internal timber frame which is visible throughout the barn. The superb triple height vaulted sitting room is a breathtaking room with a galleried mezzanine library overlooking and a glazed open studwork wall separating the sitting room and dining room. The kitchen features an exposed brick floor throughout with an extensive range of cupboards, walk-in larder and various integral appliances. Steps with Victorian cast iron floor grills lead down to the family room.

The principal bedroom is located on the ground floor, within the square kiln oast, and with a mezzanine dressing room above and an en suite wet room with electric underfloor heating. Also on the ground floor is a utility room with access to the garden and great study which can also be used as playroom or third reception room.

On the first floor are three bedrooms, one with an en suite bathroom and the others served by a family bathroom which is a balance of contemporary and period with plenty of timbers and electric underfloor heating. A further staircase leads to the attic room/bedroom five which benefits from a dual aspect.

Located on a shared private road, the property is part of an historic enclave with neighbouring properties which include a manor house and former stables. The house benefits from attractive gardens which are a real feature of this property and open up from the barn to fields and onwards to Angley Wood which is accessed via one's own gate. This makes it ideal for dog walks and trail running alike and there is an immense amount of wildlife in the vicinity. Within the gardens, which feature a well-stocked pond fed by its own borehole, can be found a number of enchanting and secluded spaces from which you can reconnect with nature. Options abound from the current natural approach - with level lawns, pond and mature trees - to the possible creation of formal beds and gardens. The land extends to about 5 acres.

Attached to the house is a garage and a studio with light and power, ideal for home office or other home-working opportunities. Further outbuildings include a garden shed, mower store, greenhouse and space to add a garage subject to permission.
