Believed to originate from the late 1800s and first converted in the 70s, this substantial Oast house has been remodelled and refurbished by the present owners in 2019 to create some exceptional spaces and features, making it ideal for modern family requirements and for entertaining guests.
Points of particular note include:
- The large glass room attached to the side of the house, connecting the kitchen to the gardens, enabling occupants to enjoy the gardens even when it is raining. The frameless glass panes all slide back so that you can be completely open to the garden, whilst staying undercover, providing an additional outside “room”.
- The double aspect, double height kitchen/ breakfast room with contemporary triple sliding glazed doors leading out to the garden and glass room is an exceptional space, flooded with natural light that bounces off the sleek lines of the bespoke David Haugh kitchen, which includes an island with breakfast bar. Integrated appliances include a Neff induction hob and double oven and Miele fridge freezer and dishwasher. There is also a filter water tap and integrated bin.
- The masterpiece that is the staircase running up through the centre of the house is constructed of steel and frameless, toughened glass, with open Oak treads. The contemporary design of this staircase is quite striking and with the open tread and glazed balustrades, the natural light from the skylights in the roof above filter down through the three levels of the house and afford glimpses up to the cowels above from below.
- The roundel oast is a generous 18’/5.5m in diameter, providing a separate reception room and two big double bedrooms. The top bedroom has a feature glazed hatch so that you can see up through the roof to the cowel above.
- All new (2019) windows and doors, boiler, underfloor heating and added insulation, all adding to the energy efficiency of the property.
- Engineered Oak flooring through much of the property.
- Two study/office rooms, one of which is accessed straight off the entrance hall, ideal if you are inviting clients in but don’t necessarily want them in your home. One or both of which could be used as additional bedrooms when required. There is also the detached garden room that could be used as a home office or guest accommodation.
- The main living room, beyond the central staircase has a sliding glazed door overlooking a Japanese style garden to the rear of the house, with water lily pond, maple leaf acer and small footbridge. This room also features an inglenook style fireplace, housing a woodburning stove.
- A large utility room is accessed directly from the kitchen and garden and has an adjoining shower room, perfect for rinsing off muddy boots or washing down dogs after a countryside walk.
- Arranged over the first and second floors are five bedrooms, three of which have en suite shower rooms, including the spacious principle bedroom with dressing area and balcony overlooking the gardens and a guest suite with roundel bedroom, dressing room and shower room.
- The gardens are delightful, interspersed with trees, shrubs and flower beds, creating different areas and outlooks from the house. They include a thatched children’s playhouse. Beyond the immediate gardens, there is a small orchard with apple, cherry, pear and apricot trees, a kitchen garden and the fenced paddock. There are two former loose stables located just off the parking area, which the current owners use for additional storage.
- The private driveway culminates at a parking area, with the detached double garage to one side.
