Description

Extending to almost 3,000 sq. ft., together with
a detached brick outbuilding, the house has been
thoughtfully arranged over three floors, celebrating the character of the original oast while providing versatile accommodation perfectly suited to modern family life.

The heart of the house is an elegant kitchen and
dining room, designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining, flowing seamlessly into the principal reception room where generous proportionsand beautiful natural light frame the surrounding landscape.

The charming breakfast room and snug, each
occupying one of the original oast roundels, offer
intimate spaces full of warmth and character, while a well-appointed utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor.

The upper floors provide five beautifully arranged
bedrooms, offering exceptional flexibility. The
principal suite enjoys an en suite bathroom,
complemented by a guest suite with its own en
suite bathroom. Two roundel bedrooms provide
an unforgettable feature of the home, alongside a
further double bedroom, family bathroom and an
impressive playroom or additional reception space.

The gardens and grounds are every bit as
captivating as the house itself. Mature trees,
sweeping lawns and established planting create
a wonderful sense of privacy, while perfectly
positioned terraces provide idyllic spaces for
outside entertaining. Beyond the formal gardens
lies an adjoining paddock, ideal for grazing,
recreation or simply preserving the wonderful sense of openness, extending to approximately 4 acres.
