No smoking.. Nestling in 26 acres of woodland and pasture, this delightful detached barn is situated in a quiet retreat in rural Kent, and offers complete tranquillity with space to think and be creative. The cottage is well equipped and has a wood burner for which the owners thoughtfully supply a basket of logs during the winter months. A glass of wine can be enjoyed on the decked terrace whilst watching the lambs at play, or trying to spot a deer. Malthouse Barn is 20 minutes from Canterbury, and the Channel Tunnel is 15 minutes away for the Eurostar to Paris. Take the fast train from Ashford and be at St Pancras, London, in just over half an hour.

Enjoy views from the decking down the valley which is occasionally visited by herds of wild deer.

Great cottage and location for walks, owners friendly and inviting
10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2025
A perfect setting in the North Downs countryside and a great location for exploring this part of Kent. The cottage is quirky in design but is more spacious than expected from the photos. It is well equipped and very clean.

We had a wonderful time here - wish we could have stayed longer! The owners were really welcoming and helpful. The peaceful and beautiful setting was just what we needed after a very full on time at work. The cottage is well equipped but also furnished and decorated in the most delightful way. There is a lot to do locally and some wonderful woodland walks. We hope to revisit next year.
