This delightful detached barn conversion is on a working farm, nestled in the village of Smarden, surrounded by beautiful countryside in Kent. Romden Barn is a large three-bedroom property, perfect for large families and groups to enjoy a relaxing holiday in the countryside. This property is full of character and charm with wooden floors, large spacious rooms, and exposed beams prominent throughout, with a low beam on the first floor. The large living/dining room is perfect for entertaining and has French door access to the garden. The kitchen is well equipped and has a range of appliances and facilities including a cloakroom with a downstairs toilet. Romden Barn is adjacent to the owner’s home and has been lovingly decorated and furnished to a very good standard. A fantastic feature of this property is the large, enclosed lawned garden, complete with a sitting-out area, garden furniture, and a BBQ for the summer months. The option to explore over an acre of land is also available with access to a large unfenced pond where fishing for carp and rainbow trout is available by arrangement with the owner.
Smarden was once a village thriving on the wool industry, and is now a sleepy backwater of old England, so classically Kentish that it is sometimes in film sets. In the heart of the village is a cluster of half-timbered houses with Kent peg-tiled roofs. For day trips, Sissinghurst Castle Gardens are well worth a visit, as are the vineyards at Biddenden. Leeds Castle is easily accessible and it closely resembles a fairytale palace, rather than a fortress. The fine aviary and maze are also sure to keep children interested and amused. Golf can be found locally at Chart Hills. One of England’s world heritage cities, Canterbury has much to offer, with many shops, restaurants, and theatres. A former church, now called The Canterbury Tales, has guided tours that lead through galleries and recount Chaucer’s tales. There is easy access to Ashford, from where the Eurotunnel can be taken over to Paris or Brussels. Beach 20 miles. Shop 3 miles, pub 2 miles, and restaurant 10 miles.

The whole family had a lovely time at Romden Barn. We were made to feel very welcome in a beautiful barn, situated in peaceful surroundings. Every thing we could have needed was there, and more. We’d love to come back again some time. Thank you Debbie for making our stay so relaxing and easy.

We spent Christmas at Romden Barn. It's a great space and the large kitchen was very handy for making Christmas lunch. We also made daily use of the hot tub despite the cold weather. Debbie and John were very welcoming and helpful. Given the time of year, we didn't spend much time visiting local attractions but there are plenty in the area.
