Hartfield Road, Cowden, TN8

A Showcase of Sustainable Luxury Living. Plot 9 is the beautifully appointed show home at Hartdene Barns — a true reflection of the design, craftsmanship, and vision that define this unique gated development of just nine highly sustainable, energy-efficient homes. Forming part of a contemporary farmstead layout and set within approximately 37 acres of idyllic communal countryside, this home exemplifies modern rural living at its finest.

Every detail has been carefully curated to inspire — from the layout and material finishes to the considered integration of sustainable technologies. As the show home, Plot 9 offers a glimpse into the lifestyle possible at Hartdene: one of harmony with nature, intelligent design, and understated elegance.

From the moment you step into the entrance lobby, with its thoughtfully designed built-in bench and storage, you’re welcomed into a home where every detail has been curated for beauty, comfort, and ease. The central hallway impresses immediately with its soaring 4.5-metre ceilings and overhead light well, casting soft, natural light across the interior. Sliding doors open into a tranquil private courtyard — a moment of calm at the heart of the home — while the hallway flows naturally into the expansive open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space.

This central living area is a celebration of space, light, and craftsmanship. Vaulted ceilings and skylights create a bright, uplifting atmosphere. The bespoke kitchen, crafted by Ornate Kitchens, features Caesarstone mineral work surfaces and state-of-the-art integrated appliances by V-ZUG. A central island anchors the room, designed with both style and functionality in mind, while a sleek built-in bioethanol fireplace brings warmth and elegance to the space. Full height sliding doors open to the south-west facing garden, inviting the landscape in and creating a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living. Just off this area, a dual-aspect lounge offers another generous and beautifully designed space for relaxing or entertaining, while a separate TV room provides a more intimate retreat for quieter moments.

A generous utility room offers ample fitted storage and workspace, while the integral double garage is equipped with hot and cold-water taps, an electric up-and-over door, and an EV charging point — a perfect reflection of the home’s forward-thinking functionality.

The master bedroom suite is a peaceful haven, complete with double doors to the garden, extensive built-in wardrobes, a separate dressing room, and a luxurious ensuite bathroom. Three further bedrooms each offer generous proportions, built-in storage, private access to the garden, and beautifully appointed ensuite shower rooms. The private inner courtyard can also be accessed from the master suite’s dressing area, providing a quiet, contemplative outdoor space that feels entirely your own.

Outside, the home is approached through elegant electric swing gates, with ample parking in front of the double garage. The 0.41-acre plot wraps around the property, with a large, south-west facing rear garden bordered by post and rail fencing. The views stretch unbroken over the surrounding countryside, creating a setting that is as peaceful as it is picturesque.

Living at Hartdene Barns means more than just owning a remarkable home. It offers a lifestyle grounded in beauty, sustainability, and tranquillity, with exclusive access to over 36 acres of wildflower meadows, woodland paths, and open green space — an extraordinary extension of your home and your daily life.

Communal Features
Life at Hartdene Barns transcends the ordinary — it is an invitation to embrace an extraordinary rural lifestyle within a vibrant and exclusive community. Residents enjoy privileged access to 36.625 acres of stunning, pristine Kent countryside, where wildflower meadows bloom, expansive green spaces invite relaxation, and tranquil walking paths meander gracefully through the natural landscape.

Hartdene isn’t just a place to live. It’s a place to breathe.

Enhancing this unparalleled setting are the private luxury allotments, expertly managed by our esteemed partners at Roots Allotments — champions of sustainable, chemical-free organic growing. These thoughtfully maintained allotments are available to residents at no running cost until June 2027*, providing a seamless opportunity to cultivate fresh, seasonal produce and foster a deeper, more meaningful connection with the land and community.

 *From The Sunday Times April 2025

"We wanted to create a clear distinction between gardens, designed for relaxation and entertainment, and allotments, which can provide a regular source of organic fruit and vegetables”, says Michael Wynne, the co-founder of Q New Homes. “Residents can choose to get involved as much or as little as they like, or simply receive produce tailored to their preference, delivered right to their door. The idea is that the allotments should be a joy to use, never a burden. They may even find that it helps to build relationships with neighbours and promote a more active lifestyle”.
