Bellerose is an exceptional newly built contemporary Kentish barn, set within over two acres of grounds in a peaceful rural position between the picturesque village of Woodchurch and the historic market town of Tenterden.

Designed by Kent Design Studio, the house takes inspiration from traditional agricultural buildings, reinterpreted through clean architectural lines, extensive glazing and beautifully considered contemporary materials. Clad in Siberian larch, which will gradually weather to a soft silver grey, two distinct wings are connected by a striking glazed entrance, creating a natural separation between living and bedroom accommodation.

The single storey living wing is particularly impressive. A substantial open plan kitchen, dining and living space forms the heart of the house, with generous glazing drawing in natural light and framing views across the gardens and surrounding farmland. A separate sitting room provides a more intimate retreat, while a study, pantry, utility room, boot room and cloakroom complete the accommodation.

The adjoining two storey wing provides five double bedrooms; including the principal bedroom suite on the ground floor which benefits from a separate dressing room and direct access to the garden terrace. Upstairs, a magnificent guest suite enjoys far reaching countryside views.

Outside, the grounds extend to over two acres, providing a wonderful sense of space and privacy. An expansive west facing terrace is perfectly positioned for the afternoon and evening sun, while a mature wildlife pond adds natural character to the gardens. The mosaic tiled swimming pool, complete with an integrated sunbathing platform, enjoys open views across the surrounding Wealden countryside. A separate annexe building offers further flexibility.

Considerable attention has been given to energy efficiency, with triple glazing, an air source heat pump, underfloor heating to the ground floor and a three phase electricity supply. The swimming pool benefits from a separate air source and solar heating system.

Bellerose offers a compelling combination of contemporary architecture, generous family accommodation and exceptional outdoor space, with the peace of the Kent countryside and the convenience of nearby villages and towns.

Offered with no onward chain.

There is an excellent selection of private and state schools nearby, and Woodchurch is within the catchment area of Ashford’s highly regarded boys’ and girls’ Grammar schools.
