A distinctive five-bedroom barn conversion with guest annexe, forming part of a small and exclusive development within the grounds of Tanyard Farm. Ideally positioned moments from Lenham village square, the property enjoys impressive views and an idyllic riverside setting.
Tanyard Barn offers over 2,500 sq. ft. of beautifully presented and creatively configured accommodation. The barn was converted to an exceptional standard, with thoughtful architectural design that seamlessly blends original character with modern convenience and fine craftsmanship.
The current owner has a keen eye for detail and has significantly enhanced the aesthetics of the property through thoughtful interior design, bespoke joinery and substantial improvements to the south-facing rear garden.
The faade reflects the classic style of a modern Kentish barn, featuring black weatherboarding, heritage-style brickwork and a clay tiled roof. The main entrance leads into a striking glazed reception hall, which links the principal house with the east wing. This space is currently arranged as a luxurious bedroom suite but could easily serve as a guest annexe for a relative seeking independence or provide additional income as a holiday let.
The main living area is arranged over split levels, with vaulted ceilings adorned with exposed beams, complemented by herringbone tiled flooring and full-height windows that flood the space with natural light. An oak-framed glass balustrade borders the steps down into the kitchen and dining area, where bespoke cabinetry is paired with French doors opening directly onto the garden. The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units incorporating Smeg appliances, finished with quartz worktops and oak shelving. This space is further complemented by a cloakroom and a well-appointed utility room with ample space for laundry appliances, which could be included.
To the first floor there are two double bedrooms and two elegantly appointed bathrooms, one of which in ensuite to the main bedroom, both bathrooms are fitted with Roca and Grohe sanitary ware and fixtures. The second floor provides two further bedrooms, each enjoying lovely views across the surrounding countryside.
GUEST ANNEXE/EAST WING :
Connected by the striking glazed reception hall, this area can also be accessed independently and offers excellent flexibility as a guest annexe or holiday let. The principal suite features vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, a bespoke dressing area and a luxurious en-suite bathroom with separate WC.
OUTSIDE :
Tanyard Barn occupies a particularly attractive plot with gardens to both the front and rear, along with a double carport. The south-facing rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped by the current owners, with a generous patio leading onto a neatly manicured lawn.
A gazebo provides a wonderful space for outdoor entertaining and sits beside a gentle stream flowing to the nearby River Stour. Sleeper-edged terraces create attractive tiered seating areas, perfectly positioned for enjoying evening sunshine and the calming sound of running water.
Beneath the property is a large, well-ventilated under croft offering excellent storage, with potential for alternative uses such as a home gym.
