Blackness Oast – A Hidden Gem on Blackness Road
Nestled away on Blackness Road, this rare gem is so discreet that even the locals might be surprised to discover it. Tucked behind what once served as the original farmhouse, Blackness Oast beckons you to meander up its charming driveway and uncover a home steeped in history and brimming with character.
A Blend of Heritage and Comfort
Originally converted into a residential home years ago, Blackness Oast carefully preserves the unique features of its past while offering modern comforts. The main structure, built with traditional East Sussex brick, timber framing, and weatherboarding, showcases the craftsmanship of a bygone era. Notably, the tiled roof has undergone considerable renovation, ensuring the home's enduring quality and charm.
A Journey Through Time
As you step into the welcoming vestibule, the first modern convenience greets you—a handy downstairs W/C. But it is the journey through time that truly begins here. The single round kiln, crowned with its iconic conical cowl and blinker, immediately captures the imagination. This space has been thoughtfully repurposed; downstairs, it serves as a cozy reception room, while upstairs, it transforms into a unique, round bedroom—perfect for a retreat at the end of the day.
Character and Warmth in Every Corner
The expansive, rectangular lounge is a nod to the property's past as a stowage area for dried hops, now warmed by an inglenook fireplace that invites you to settle in and relax. The lounge flows effortlessly into the light-filled dining area, complete with an attached conservatory that offers the perfect spot to enjoy all seasons, gazing out over the secluded garden.
Should you desire, there is potential to extend this area, subject to the usual planning consents, to create even more space for your needs.
A Delight for the Senses
The galley kitchen, adorned with light oak-effect units and ample countertops, is a place where culinary creativity comes to life. From here, you can also enjoy views of the charming garden, which has been thoughtfully divided into separate areas, each with its own unique character. There's even a secret haven tucked away behind the detached garage, waiting to be discovered.
Upstairs, History Meets Home
Ascend the wooden staircase, where beams and quaint nooks and crannies add to the charm, leading to a spacious landing area. The large master bedroom exudes comfort and tranquility, while the second "round" bedroom offers a distinctive and cozy space. The family bathroom completes this floor, blending practicality with style.
Your Own Piece of East Sussex History
Having been cherished by the same family for many decades, Blackness Oast is now ready for its next chapter. It invites you to move in, make it your own, and embrace the rich history and unique lifestyle that comes with owning a piece of East Sussex’s heritage.
