About this property

The Parsonage Barns by Keepers Cottages

Set within the peaceful grounds of Parsonage Farm in the charming village of Preston, The Parsonage Barns offer a rare opportunity to enjoy two beautifully restored, character filled retreats side by side, perfect for couples or friends travelling together who value private space. Comprising, The Granary and The Stable, this unique pairing is full of charm and thoughtful modern comfort, all surrounded by the rolling Kent countryside and within easy reach of Sandwich, Canterbury and the coast. The Granary is a Grade II listed building perched on its original staddle stones beneath a picturesque thatched roof. Lovingly restored, it retains its oak boarded interior and intimate feel, with a cosy living space, well equipped kitchen and a romantic mezzanine bedroom overlooking the living area below. Just a few steps away, The Stable offers a light and spacious contrast. Once home to working horses, it has been thoughtfully converted into a welcoming retreat with a generous living area, a fully equipped kitchen and a comfortable upstairs bedroom with ensuite shower room. Together, the two barns provide the perfect space for two couples or friends sharing a getaway while still enjoying the privacy of separate accommodation. Outside, each property has its own private patio, perfect for morning coffee or relaxed evenings in the fresh country air, while the surrounding area offers scenic walks, local pubs and village amenities all within easy reach. With parking on site, welcoming touches throughout, and space for up to two well behaved dogs, The Parsonage Barns are an idyllic base for exploring this beautiful corner of Kent, or simply unwinding in peaceful rural surroundings.
