Seller InsightNestled within a quiet enclave on the edge of the delightful village of Cobham is Number 2 Rookery FarmBarn, a beautiful barn conversion that enjoys a glorious

countryside location. “We had actually decided on another property when, quite by chance, my husband came across details of the Barn on the Internet, I never knew it existed” says the owner, he was intrigued and immediately arranged a viewing. The minute he saw it he rang me and said, ‘You’ve got to come and have a look at this right away.’

I did, and I too fell in love with it immediately, the rest is history”“The conversion had been done around sixteen years before we purchased it, and they did a beautiful job. Everyone who visits comments on how homely it feels, and that’s what I really love about it. The whole building it’s full of character, we’ve decorated using pale tones and lightened the beams by intricate sandblasting, so it also feels very light, bright and airy.

The rooms are generously proportioned so there’s a really lovely feeling of space throughout.”

“The garden is the ideal size in my opinion,” says the owner. “We have a nice patio area where we entertain, some easy to manage flower beds and the rest is mainly laid to lawn with various fruit trees toward the bottom.

As the sun sets in the West, the garden is bathed in sunshine throughout the day, it backs onto Jeskyns Park, therefore it’s wonderfully peaceful with a good degree of privacy.”

Bluewater is conveniently close; Our friendly village boasts one of the most popular schools in Kent but above all I personally really love my easy 18 minute commute to London St Pancras, with Ebbsfleet just 8 minutes from our home”
