About this property

Markbeech 1.2 miles. Tucked away in the leafy Hoath Estate is Batts Barn, a contemporary barn conversion in Chiddingstone Hoath, Kent. Family-friendly, pet-friendly and filled with character, this holiday home is ideal for a family gathering or for a group of friends to come together amongst beautiful countryside. As you arrive, ample parking makes unloading a breeze; make your way through the garden, home to furniture and a firepit, perfect for hosting, and step straight into the open-plan living space. The social hub of the home, this space has everything you need for a self-catered stay, including a fully-equipped kitchen with a handy dishwasher to help clean up, and a large dining table for up to twelve dinner guests. Here, you can also unwind on the sofa, or you can head through to the sitting room to cosy up in front of the woodburning stove with a book from the collection. Completing the ground floor is a king-size bedroom with a convenient en-suite which is ideal for any members of the family with limited mobility. Take the stairs up to the mezzanine landing, where you can find the remaining bedrooms, a super-king-size with a zip/link feature and en-suite, a king-size, and a twin, allowing for flexible sleeping arrangements. When it’s time to explore, make your way into Royal Tunbridge Wells where you can stroll along The Pantiles or treat loved ones to a light lunch at Juliet's Café, or a traditional French meal at Coco Retro, finishing off with a drink at Fuggles Beer Café. For a day out, head to the nearby Chiddingstone Village, one of the oldest villages in England, or you can wander your way through Penshurst Place & Gardens. For a fun-filled day out with the children, take a trip to Groombridge Place and discover the Enchanted Forest & Gardens, and you can also leave your little ones to play Grosvenor & Hilbert Park while you enjoy a picnic. A stunning property in a picture-perfect area, choose Batts Barn.

    Very smart, stylish and with generous spacious living areas. OVERALL RATED VERY HIGHLY! I would recommended for anyone who wants a rural retreat and would definitely return. Too small comments. 1. The bathrooms into the eves with sliding doors were a bit tight. Given how spacious the rest was - a little bit of a squeeze (mind your head if tall) 2. The hob was fiddly and hard to fathom out.! But we pressed enough buttons and it worked.

    There is also a problem with the heating system or something as a pump keeps going on and off through the night and was really noisy and disturbed all our sleep. Was a little disappointed to be fair and wasn’t as relaxing as we wanted

    Very welcoming arrival, in general the barn could do with a bit of TLC, decorating etc, particularly relating to carpets/flooring. Our main issue with the property was the beds, they are in a real need of replacing with springs poking out and extremely uncomfortable. Very well stocked kitchen, however a coffee machine would be a great addition and it would have been nice to have shower gel within the bathrooms. The barn had ample space which made it great for socialising, and it felt very festive with the wonderful Christmas tree.
