Converting a barn offers the chance to create a unique home. Get it right and it will be a beautiful home for generations to come.

That’s exactly what happened at this one when it was transformed in the 1990s.

Today, this four-bedroom home stands alongside several other converted properties on a small complex close to Faversham.

You enter a galleried entrance hall. Stairs lead to the first floor and, being galleried, light and space leave a lasting first impression for visitors.

The dining room is a lovely room with oak framed doors going out to the gardens. It connects with the kitchen breakfast room, which has a parquet floor and views over the paddocks,

On the first floor is an immense open plan room, separated by the galleried stairway. It measures about 47ft from end to end and has a vaulted ceiling. Also on this floor are the sitting room with its wood burning stove and brick hearth plus a large study area.

The bedrooms are all on the right in the house, effectively forming a wing just for sleeping accommodation. The master bedroom has a large en-suite shower room and double doors leading to the garden.

The three other bedrooms are all good sized doubles, full of character with exposed beams. There is a large parking area in the centre of the complex, with each property having its own parking area. East Newhouse Barn also has a double garage.
