This beautifully presented detached converted Oast barn, is nestled in a very secluded and peaceful location, at the end of a private drive in the heart of the charming village of Laddingford. The accommodation is perfectly arranged for the family buyer, with well proportioned rooms and a very private south-facing rear garden, plus driveway parking and a large garage.

The house is centrally positioned within its plot, and a set of five-bar gates open onto a block-paved driveway, providing ample parking, leading to the garage, and side return access to the garden beyond. A charming storm-canopy porch leads into an impressive triple-height entrance hall, where a vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, and a galleried landing create an immediate sense of space.

The ground floor is perfectly designed for both comfort and sociable living. The ‘L’-shaped sitting room sits to the end of the house, featuring exposed beams, a large wood-burning stove set on a brick hearth, and casement doors that open onto a delightful rear courtyard garden.

The beautifully fitted kitchen/breakfast room is the true heart of this home, seamlessly connecting to the dining room, which features tongue-and-groove panelling, fitted cupboards, and doors leading to the garden. The kitchen has a comprehensive range of modern units with complementary worktops, Neff double ovens including a combi microwave, induction hob, and an island with breakfast bar. Natural light floods the space through two large Velux skylights and garden-facing windows. An adjacent separate utility room provides further storage, a sink, and plumbing for appliances.

Two additional reception rooms offer flexibility for home working, hobbies, or a family playroom, one featuring built-in shelving and Cat 5 cabling, the other complete with fitted desk furniture and a front-facing window. A stylish cloakroom completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, the impressive galleried landing - set beneath a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams - has been thoughtfully arranged as a library or study area. The spacious master bedroom enjoys double-aspect windows, a part-vaulted ceiling, fitted wardrobes, and a contemporary en-suite shower room. Three further well-proportioned bedrooms and a beautifully appointed family bathroom with a double-ended bath, separate shower, and underfloor heating complete the first floor.

Outside, the property enjoys a thoughtful, well-tended garden, with the rear garden having a desirable southerly aspect, and laid mainly to lawn with an area of terrace, bordered by mature shrubs and flowers offering year-round colour. A unique walled courtyard garden set to the rear incorporates part of the original Oast roundel, creating an enchanting, secluded space ideal for alfresco dining. Additional features include a brick-built potting shed, log store, outdoor lighting, and side access.

Practical touches include gas central heating, double glazing, mains drainage, and a large boarded loft space. The property also benefits from a garage and ample off-road parking, with shared private driveway access and agreed maintenance arrangements.

The location of this house is excellent, as it enjoys a private location within the heart of this village, with its primary school and local pub. Nearby Yalding has further village amenities, whilst the towns of Paddock Wood, Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells, all with their mainline stations and extensive amenities, are all a short drive away.

This superb home offers excellent value in a home that perfectly blends traditional craftsmanship and contemporary comfort, all set in a secluded location in the heart of this welcoming village.
