2 Bed in Loose (oc-as283)

This stunning Grade II listed barn conversion is set in the grounds of the owner's traditional oast house surrounded by paddocks and woodland in a peaceful rural location. The barn has been converted to a very high standard preserving the character where possible and adding to it with a bespoke staircase with glass panelling and a mezzanine landing. It has been finished to a high standard with under floor heating on the ground floor and offers extremely spacious and luxurious accommodation for families or friends to share. There are double height windows and door to the front opening into the large and welcoming living space. There is a separate fully fitted and well equipped kitchen and there are two first floor double bedrooms, both with their own en-suite shower rooms. There is a secluded private garden to the side with a table and chairs set under the pergola. Salts Barn is located just outside the village of Loose which is 2 miles south of Maidstone in a conservation area. This really is an ideal base from which to explore the countryside and the coastline of Kent so don't forget to pack your walking boots as there are plenty of footpaths from the doorstep.
