Description
An exceptional opportunity to purchase this fabulous fully refurbished and extended Oast House, situated in an enviable position at the foot of the North Downs. The property sits within a generous 4-acre smallholding with various outbuildings, all located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Summary - You approach the home via a private road that runs alongside an expansive vineyard, which also borders the impressive plot. The property is accessed from a large driveway offering ample parking for multiple vehicles, leading through impressive wrought-iron gates into a beautiful walled garden.
Inside, the inviting entrance hall opens into a beautifully modernised country-style kitchen housed in one of the roundels, featuring premium granite work surfaces. The other roundel accommodates a spacious living room with a wood-burning stove and solid oak flooring. There is also a snug/family room, a useful ground-floor W.C., and a wonderful part-brick conservatory that opens directly onto the private rear garden.
On the first floor are three generous double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with built-in wardrobes and lovely garden views. Two further double bedrooms are located in the roundels, all served by a stylish contemporary family bathroom.
The second floor offers two additional double bedrooms, each positioned in the tops of the roundels. These rooms enjoy feature glass windows where the cowls once sat, allowing you to stargaze from the comfort of your own bed. A modern shower room completes the top floor.
Externally, the beautifully landscaped rear garden includes a lawn, shingled planting areas with a pond, and a substantial outbuilding currently used as a workshop and store, which offers excellent potential for conversion into an annexe (subject to the necessary consents).
The four-acre smallholding is perfectly set up for anyone seeking a self-sufficient lifestyle. It includes a stable block with tack room, significant lock-up storage, an agricultural barn and an Atcost barn – with potential for conversion, subject to planning permission. The land is divided into well-fenced fields, providing ample space for multiple animals, and features a fabulous wilding area at the top of the plot.
This superb location allows you to enjoy semi-rural living while remaining within easy reach of the amenities and transport links of Bearsted. Early viewing is highly recommended to appreciate all that this exceptional property has to offer.
Location - Thurnham is a charming and peaceful village set against the scenic backdrop of the North Downs. This tranquil rural retreat offers a perfect blend of historic character and modern accessibility, making it a highly desirable location for those seeking a quiet lifestyle without sacrificing convenience. Locals enjoy immediate access to The Black Horse, a well-regarded local gastro pub situated within easy walking distance. For everyday essentials, more extensive shopping and more gastronomic choices, the neighbouring village of Bearsted and the larger towns of Maidstone and Sittingbourne provide excellent amenities.
