Description
A well presented family home set within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, approximately 1.9 miles from the mainline station.
Comprising a former single roundel oast and barn, with later additions, this attractive period property enjoys a south-facing aspect and is set within extensive gardens. The accommodation is well proportioned, adaptable and stylish, having been updated throughout with contemporary fixtures and fittings.
The space is currently arranged to include a well-appointed two-bedroom self-contained apartment in what was the original barn to the front, ideal for extended family or to generate rental income, whilst the roundel provides an interesting feature in the main house. The principal reception rooms comprise a dining room extending into the roundel, sitting room with woodburning stove opening to the garden and a good-sized separate study.
There are six bedrooms in the main house, four good-sized doubles, a roundel double and a further roundel bedroom on the second floor, together with three well-appointed en suite shower rooms and a contemporary bath/wet room comprising a bath and a walk-in circular shower.
PLANNING PERMISSION:
Our clients have obtained planning permission (Ref: WD/2023/1937/F, granted 13/09/2023) to further enhance the property. The proposed single storey extension to the rear south-facing side would create additional living space, with a substantial 'Orangery style' room, open plan to the sitting room and the kitchen/breakfast room, allowing full appreciation of the lovely position.
The gardens are particularly noteworthy, lying predominantly to the rear of the property, with a large level lawn, ideal for outdoor entertaining, a roundel-inspired gazebo, an array of mature trees and shrubs and high hedging screening the boundaries. The Oast is approached via a gated driveway leading to a substantial parking area, with private space for the Apartment.
