This remarkable six-bedroom detached Dutch barn conversion lies in a quiet hamlet next to the Kentish village of Horsmonden, surrounded by a natural, 10-acre strong landscape of hops, woodland and orchards. Designed by RX Architects, the house is crowned by a striking Cor-Ten steel roof that contrasts with the pared-back, Scandinavian-inspired interiors. Its footprint unfolds over 3,400 sq ft of flowing and immaculately realised spaces created with contemporary living in mind. The house lies down a quiet no-through road that fosters a feel of total tranquility. Cranbrook School is a short drive away, as is Paddock Wood station, which runs services to London Bridge in around 43 minutes.
