The Granary at Newage Farm is a delightful barn conversion on the North Downs Way, designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The barn encompassing the upper floor of the former granary building. It has been restored to a high specification and sits in the beautiful grounds of Newage Farmhouse. The lovely open plan living space creates a spacious sociable area for friends or family to gather, and it has French doors to a small balcony with far reaching views across the Kent countryside. One bedroom has an ensuite shower room and there is a bathroom near the second bedroom. There is a snug with TV, which has a sofa bed for a further guest on request.

Outside, the barn has a private garden area with table and chairs and guests are free to wander into the adjoining orchard and catch the sunset whilst relaxing in the hammock and listening to the birdsong. In fact, nature is in abundance at The Granary which has resident partridges, pheasants, hares, buzzards, kestrels and owls so don’t forgot your binoculars.

Nestled in the beautiful Kent countryside aptly named the Garden of England, the area offers charming villages to explore, by foot, cycle or car, and is close to the Pilgrim’s Way. The historic market towns of Lenham and Faversham are a short drive away, as is the impressive Leeds Castle. The medieval City of Canterbury is also a short drive with its iconic cathedral, and for those wanting to enjoy the coast, where better than a trip to the fishing harbour town of Whitstable famous for its oyster beds.

Note: there is an electric charging point for cars and bikes.

A truly delightful cottage, great for nature.

We pulled into a driveway between a field of sunflowers and an organic meadow, and drove up to the most wonderful barn. Full glass front looks over the fields, gorgeous views from both aspects. The garden is an orchard, with beehives and plenty of natural planting. It just feels wholesome. Opening the door we were met by a most welcoming open plan living area, with comfortable bedrooms, lovely bath. It suited us perfectly, including the fact that the TV room is small and separate - we much prefer to watch birds, and there were plenty of them! The living area is perfectly set up to cook and chat.

We were welcomed by a little personal letter from David and Zazu and, even better, homemade jam, marmalade and honey. So good.

We loved the local area - top notch dinner, wine and service at The Ringlestone Inn nearby, and a visit to the village market in Lenham - excellent local produce. Half hour drive to Whitstable, 40 mins to Canterbury - ideal.

Overall, it was pretty much perfect for a long weekend - well set up, warm, good bath, and it felt like a proper getaway.

Thank you for putting so much time and love into your cottage, it was an absolute pleasure to stay.

We had a very peaceful week at the Granary. Lovely views across the countryside and the accommodation had everything we needed. Shame that the wardrobe door couldn't be fixed before we arrived but this was a minor issue. We made full use of the EV charger.

Our only disappointment was that the Keeper's Cottages website charged us for a dog which we do not have. We tried six times to uncheck this box ! !

We have already mentioned this wonderful property to our neighbours who have similar tastes.
