Situation
Nonington is a charming village with a wonderful community and benefits from a local garage, primary school, and the 900 year old Parish Church of St. Mary the Virgin. The village hall plays host to a wide range of regular events and the village is central to some excellent walks and heritage trails. There are regular trains from Snowdown and Adisham stations that link up with the mainline high speed rail stations at Dover, Sandwich, Canterbury and London. The neighbouring village of Chillenden has the reputable Griffins Head pub and restaurant with its regular classic car shows and barbecues. Nonington is not far from other attractive rural communities such as Goodnestone Park, Eastry and Shepherdswell which offer a range of shops and schools. Also within easy reach is Wingham and the medieval town of Sandwich which offers an excellent range of amenities including supermarket, shops, bank, post office, chemist, doctor and dentist surgeries, restaurants, public houses, choice of well-regarded schools and leisure facilities. A railway station at nearby Snowdown is a 1.3 mile walk through the village and offers direct trains to Canterbury and Dover Stations with connections onwards from these.

The Property
Magnificent ancient Grade II Listed timber framed barn conversion with spacious open plan living space full of character and beams and presently laid out with four bedrooms but with space available for more if required. Many of the rooms have hugely interesting features including the brick lined well in the floor of the utility area with winding gear over it and the cupola in the roof over a bedroom dressing area. The present owners have invested in a beautiful kitchen in the open plan living space and a stylish modern bathroom suite to provide all the necessary and expected comforts in this fabulous home. The lower ground floor level is partly used for additional bedroom space but there is also a huge amount of storage space down there if required. The land behind the barn’s rear garden and parking area was formerly occupied by Prima Systems who manufacture windows but Prima has moved, the land has been cleared and a splendid residential development is currently in construction there with some lovely new houses hidden from the barn behind a new high brick garden wall (this wall is also in construction now).

Outside
An open lawned garden sits in front of the property. To the left side of the barn is the driveway with double gates leading to some off-road parking spaces. A further set of motorised gates are around to the side corner of the plot (also in construction) leading in from the new roadway there to the garden area behind the barn. Here there is more off-road parking and turning space and access to the new single brick-built garage. Closer to the barn itself are several linked areas of planting, patios and decking, some at raised levels and with doors into the rear facing master bedroom and a balcony with doors into the living space. To the rear right corner a large enclosed and private patio is perfect for al-fresco dining and BBQs with two separate doors leading back inside the property. We will provide more photos of the rear garden once the new rear brick boundary wall and garage are completed.
