The Barn is located at the centre of a rural, quiet oasis, surrounded by 5 acres of privately owned garden, meadow, woodland and orchards in an exquisite wider landscape. It's nestled in the heart of the Kent North Downs in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty right next to Hucking Estate, a stunning 700-acre landscape of chalk grassland and ancient woodland owned and managed by the Woodland Trust. The Barn provides easy access for walks in Hucking Estate and surrounding countryside. If you're looking for an escape from your busy life to unwind, relax and enjoy scenic country views then look no further. The Barn was recently converted and provides modern luxury in a rustic setting: • Separate bedroom with fitted wardrobe, dressing table, double bed and TV • Fully functioning kitchen including electric hob, kettle, toaster, Nespresso pod coffee machine, oven, microwave, dishwasher, fridge and freezer • Bathroom with double size shower • Large lounge with log burner, TV, dining table, coffee table, sofa, vaulted ceiling, oak beams, two bi-fold doors and velux windows • Underfloor heating throughout • Complimentary tea and coffee • Complimentary ultra fast wifi If you would prefer to relax and not spend time cooking, I've partnered with COOK, the premium frozen ready made meal retailer, and am able to offer a range of their classic award-winning meals. If you're interested in this option, please message me after your booking has been confirmed and I'll email you setting out the details of how to order. Your items will be in the freezer in the Barn when you arrive. Outside the Barn are multiple seating areas including a private courtyard garden which has seating, a firepit and charcoal BBQ. The Barn is set in a very isolated, scenic spot next to Hucking Estate and overlooks our greenhouse, vegetable garden, apple orchard and ancient woodland. An incredible amount of wildlife and plants can be found around the Barn. Intense bluebell woods, chalk grassland meadows, and bird-filled wilderness surround the property. Buzzards, blue tits, great tits, bullfinch, nightingales, goldfinch, wrens, woodpeckers, owls and skylarks are frequently sighted. I also keep sheep in a paddock adjacent to the barn. It’s simply a magical place in countryside wilderness to spend time and relax. At night the sky here is very dark, providing a great opportunity for stargazing around the firepit. All of this beautiful countryside setting and tranquility is within 10 minutes drive of either the M2 (J5) and M20 (J7).
The Barn is in a secluded location in the North Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It’s next to Hucking Estate and surrounded by public footpaths that offer fabulous scenic country walks. The Kent Showground and The Dreys Wedding Venue are less than 10 minutes drive away.

The Hook and Hatchet Pub is about 30 minutes’ walk away across open countryside during which you will enjoy stunning views of undulating hills and the Medway estuary. The pub provides a good selection of drinks and lovely food.
