The Barn and Bombers Farm, located in Westerham Hill, Kent, are historic buildings dating back to the 16th century, recognized for their architectural significance. The Barn was thoughtfully converted in 2001 into a luxurious accommodation that has since received a prestigious 5-star rating from Tourism England. Retaining its original oak frame, the Barn features oak flooring and joinery throughout, creating an elegant atmosphere. Natural light floods the rooms, with expansive windows offering picturesque views of the surrounding open fields and ancient woodlands.

Notable features include natural slate floors in the entrance hall and bathrooms, enhancing the rustic charm of the accommodation.
Ascending an antique spiral staircase to the first floor reveals an expansive L-shaped open-plan living and dining area with vaulted ceilings and exposed oak framing. This space, measuring a maximum of 27ft by 24ft, includes a fully equipped modern kitchen with essential appliances, a dining area with a large table for six, and a comfortable lounge area with ample seating.
