Unique Barn Conversion With Beautiful Marsh Views

Rochester, Kent

Located in Rochester, Kent, in the South of England, this vacation home sleeps 4 people in 2 bedrooms and is near the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Situated on the edge of the North Kent Marshes, the property offers stunning views of birds and wildlife, surrounded by pear orchards. Guests can enjoy complete privacy and tranquillity, with no surrounding properties, on a working farm with sheep grazing the marshes and various fruit grown in the orchards.

The bathroom is equipped with a shower, basin, and toilet, while the main room includes a well-equipped kitchen, table seating for 4, and a comfortable seating area overlooking the marsh and orchards.
