About this property

  • The Oast is an immaculately presented and beautifully positioned double roundel oast house, which is understood to have been converted in 1987. Having been completely refurbished by the current owners, to an excellent standard, this delightful property offers generous family accommodation which is presented over two floors.

    Points of note include:
    Exposed brickwork, antique pine doors to the majority of rooms, solid oak staircase and luxuriously fitted bathrooms with sanitary ware.

    Three well proportioned reception rooms comprise a double aspect drawing room with inglenook wood burning stove and formal dining room, both of which are situated within the roundels, together with a study which features oak laminate flooring and two French doors which lead out to the pool area.

    The roundel kitchen is bespoke fitted by Roundel Design UK Ltd, with a mixture of pine and granite worktops with painted cupboards. Appliances comprise a two oven electric Aga and module, integral dishwasher, fridge, freezer and space for a free standing fridge. A separate utility room and laundry/boiler provide additional wall to ceiling storage space and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer.

    A custom-made oak staircase leads up to the first floor where there are four bedrooms and two bathrooms (one being en suite). These include the luxuriously appointed principal bedroom suite which is well proportioned in the roundel, with its separate dressing area which flows through to the other roundel where there is a luxury en suite bathroom with Travertine flooring and freestanding double ended bath to enjoy the breath taking views towards the South.

    The beautiful gardens and grounds, which extend to 8.32 acres, are an outstanding feature of the property. Expansive lawns stretch away to the east and south, affording views over the adjoining countryside. To the front lies an area of lawn and an orchard with apple and cherry trees. Whilst to the rear the level lawn with a paved south facing terrace which hugs the property and overlooks the delightful grounds, ideal for entertaining. Off of the main garden, a gate opens to an L shaped paddock which alone, totals approximately 6 acres. To the rear is a pool area which is enclosed and well kept with a heated swimming pool and pool shed.

    To the west of the house is a double garage which has been stylishly converted into a single garage, art studio and recording studio. To one side, is the garage with a pine staircase that leads up to the first floor which is currently used as an art studio with two velux windows. On the other side and accessed via a separate door, is a self contained recording studio with substantial sound proof doors.

My most favourite thing about this wonderful home is the view you get every time you turn into the driveway, just magical!
