The details
Set among rolling Kentish farmland and orchards near Canterbury, The Manor Barn is an extraordinary countryside escape where historic character meets laidback luxury. Sleeping up to ten guests across five spacious bedrooms, this beautifully restored 17th century barn combines soaring vaulted interiors, peaceful rural views and generous social spaces, creating the perfect setting for memorable family gatherings and relaxed weekends with friends.
From the moment you arrive along the private driveway, there’s a wonderful sense of calm and seclusion. Inside, the vast open-plan living area immediately impresses with its dramatic vaulted ceilings, exposed timber beams and striking mezzanine levels. Despite its impressive scale, the barn feels wonderfully warm and welcoming, with squishy sofas gathered around the crackling log burner, cosy reading nooks and thoughtful touches throughout inviting guests to truly switch off.
The living and dining space is designed for togetherness, whether you’re sharing celebratory meals around the large dining table, settling in for film nights beside the fire or simply enjoying lazy mornings with coffee and countryside views. A grand piano adds an elegant focal point, while huge doors opening onto the patio and gardens fill the barn with natural light.
The glamorous kitchen is perfectly equipped for sociable stays, complete with two Neff ovens, a five-burner gas hob, Nespresso coffee machine and plenty of space for preparing everything from leisurely breakfasts to special dinners with a private chef. An additional utility room adds even more convenience for longer stays.
The Manor Barn comfortably sleeps ten guests across five beautifully styled bedrooms. Three accessible ground floor bedrooms make the property especially practical for mixed generations and family groups, while two stunning mezzanine bedrooms upstairs each feature their own ensuite bathrooms and overlook the main living space below. Reached by striking glass and metal staircases, these elevated rooms feel wonderfully private and atmospheric.
Outside, the magic continues. The large lawned garden offers endless space for children and dogs to roam freely, while the patio is ideal for alfresco dining, evening drinks and summer barbecues surrounded by uninterrupted countryside views. During warmer months, guests also enjoy private access to the owner’s heated outdoor swimming pool, perfect for refreshing morning swims or lazy afternoons in the sunshine.
Located in the heart of the Garden of England, The Manor Barn is ideally placed for exploring Kent’s celebrated vineyards, charming villages and historic towns. Nearby Canterbury offers beautiful architecture, independent shops and excellent restaurants, while wine lovers can visit Domaine Evremond, Taittinger’s English sparkling wine estate just beyond the village. Whether you spend your days walking through orchards, discovering local wineries or simply unwinding beside the fire, this remarkable barn provides an unforgettable rural retreat.
