In the heart of rural north Kent yet within easy access to London and Europe, Norwood Barn has been carefully restored with love to offer delightful, unique holiday accommodation.
Ancient oak beams, original brickwork and exposed lime plasterwork accentuate its rustic charm. Combined with 3 en-suite bedrooms, underfloor heating and large windows allowing plenty of natural light to flood in, Norwood Barn offers a refined mix of country and contemporary style.
The carefully thought out design of this quirky and interesting barn is ideal for families and small groups of friends. With a spacious open plan kitchen and dining room at ground level, light floods in through the floor-to-ceiling glass panes that flank the central atrium. The old barn doors that have been retained as shutters on the road side can be closed for privacy at night, creating an intimate atmosphere for a dinner party with friends.
On a mezzanine level above, amongst the high oak beams is the fabulous galleried sitting room. Framed by a glass and oak balcony looking down into the atrium, the most wonderful discovery is the vast picture window looking out on spectacular long range views to north Kent; spanning over 20 miles on a clear day to the Isle of Sheppey, Whitstable and Herne Bay and beyond. The flexible layout offers three en-suite bedrooms, with a large master bedroom in its own separate first floor area, and a further double and twin room downstairs.
Through the French doors opening from the kitchen there is a courtyard garden enclosed with a pretty flint wall, the perfect secure spot to let the kids play. To stretch your legs further afield, don your walking shoes and head out into the nearby woods and mile upon mile of Kent countryside.
For two families looking to get together or larger groups of friends wanting a little privacy, Norwood Barn can also be booked with Norwood Dairy next door.
