Beautifully presented oast house set in an idyllic position in Bodiam
An attractive and beautifully presented oast house set in an idyllic countryside position in Bodiam. Full of charm and character, this Grade II listed home lies within the High Weald National Landscape, with Bodiam Castle located less than a mile away, offering exceptional surroundings to explore and enjoy.
This distinctive converted oast features two roundels and a striking blend of red brick, ragstone and partial weatherboarding.
The elevations are softened by climbing wisteria and roses, creating a picturesque approach that perfectly complements the property’s historic appeal.
From the driveway, a side entrance leads into the kitchen, located within one of the roundels. This bright and welcoming space is fitted with bespoke cabinetry, ceramic tiled flooring and light quartz work surfaces, alongside an Aga, integrated oven and dishwasher, and a Quooker tap.
A generous pantry adjoins the kitchen and leads through to a well-planned utility/boot room with a shower room, offering practicality for country living. A delightful sitting or summer room enjoys an abundance of natural light, with double doors opening onto a charming enclosed garden terrace laid in York stone, complete with a tranquil water feature, ideal for outdoor dining and relaxation.
The dining room occupies the second roundel and provides direct access to the garden. This flows seamlessly into the drawing room, a spacious and characterful area with exposed beams and a wood-burning stove. Double doors open to the enclosed garden creating a wonderful sense of connection with the outdoor space. A study and a cloakroom complete the ground floor.
Upstairs, there are four well-proportioned bedrooms and a generous bathroom. The principal bedroom is situated within one of the roundels and benefits from a spacious en suite, featuring twin basins and a classic roll-top bath.
The gardens are a particular feature of the property. In addition to the enclosed garden, the main grounds include a terrace adjoining the house, framed by climbing roses and wisteria. Tiered areas rise via timber steps to a higher level, offering delightful views back towards the house. A decked seating area with pergola and vines provides another inviting space to unwind.
There are two outbuildings, one of which is currently arranged as an artist’s studio, along with mature trees and shaded areas to enjoy during warmer months.
Accessed via a private drive, the property also benefits from a double-bay car port and ample parking. Extending to approximately 0.73 of an acre, Badgers Oast presents a rare opportunity to acquire a distinctive country home in a highly sought-after location.
