4 bedrooms House in Fairfield, Fairfield, Romney Marsh TN29
Beckets Barn is a most impressive Grade II listed conversion which is believed to date in part from the early 18th century with later 19th century additions. Together with two further barns incorporating a stylish self-contained annexe, a gym, heated indoor 53 ft pool and ample garaging, they are all arranged around a landscaped coastal courtyard garden planted to encourage biodiversity, with level lawns and a paddock extending away to the outermost boundaries. Converted in 2004, the principal barn has been beautifully designed retaining much of the integrity of the original old oak building whilst featuring a wealth of reclaimed oak joinery with contemporary touches, underfloor heating throughout and wiring and recessed ceiling/wall speakers in place to a number of rooms. The ground floor accommodation comprises two generously proportioned reception rooms, both offering ideal areas for formal entertaining; a lovely light reception/dining hall with flagstone flooring, Di Lusso wood burning stove and two sets of French doors to either end, one opening to the central courtyard garden and the other to the lawned gardens, and a comfortable dual aspect sitting room also with wood burning stove, bookshelves and French doors leading to a south easterly facing terrace. The excellent kitchen/breakfast/family room is the perfect family space, equipped with an extensive range of cupboards and central island complemented by granite work surfaces. Appliances comprise a Fisher & Paykel range cooker, an integral dishwasher and Quooker boiling water tap. The breakfast/family area has a wood burning stove and enjoys lovely far reaching views over the atmospheric Romney Marsh landscape. An adjoining utility room with further storage cupboards has space for a washing machine. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a fifth bedroom with en suite wet room, a study and WC. A turned oak staircase with glass balustrades leads up to the first floor where the main bedroom suite enjoys fabulous views and has a dressing room and luxuriously fitted bathroom. There are three further bedrooms, one with stairs leading up to a flexible mezzanine area. These bedrooms are served by a family bathroom and en suite shower room fitted with contemporary sanitary ware. Beckets Barn is approached via an electronically operated gate which opens to a substantial gravelled parking and turning area. The gardens are a superb feature with level lawns, pathways flanked with lavender borders, an array of mature shrubs, hedging and several well screened terraces. Of particular note is the stunning central courtyard garden which has been beautifully landscaped with water feature, sunken terrace ideal for al fresco entertaining and a wide variety of plants which are well suited to the coastal micro climate. There is a kitchen garden with raised beds and fruit cages and a small enclosed paddock, in all amounting to about 1.15 acres. Oil fired under flooring heating to the main house.
