Architecture Wednesday: The Glass Barn

It’s a barn; it’s England; it’s for sale.

On a quiet country lane near England’s Kent-Sussex border you will find the Glass Barn—the home draws its name from the 14 windows that illuminate the 7,000-square-foot space and provide views of rolling hills and fields—a five-bedroom barn conversion currently seeking a new owner.

As part of the conversion, the barn was expanded with contemporary additions, including a glass-enclosed mezzanine level above the kitchen, which helps to emphasize the scale of the pitched roof.

A large kitchen, complete with exposed beams, is located off the entrance hall, and is fitted with high-end appliances, a central steel island and an adjoining scullery. The main living is just steps away, lined with herringbone oak floors. 

The private quarters await at the southern end of the first floor where you’ll find four bedrooms, each with its own en suite bath; there are also several versatile spaces which can be used as a creative studio, office, or gym. 

Furthermore The Glass Barn offers guest accommodations, or a rental space, that is spread across two floors and comes with a kitchenette, bedroom, and bath. Though the space is accessible via the first floor of the main house, it also features a separate entrance, making it a perfect guest or rental flat.

And it can all be yours for Keep scrolling to see more of the property, currently listed for £2,250,000 or $3,025,122 USD.
