Double Oak doors lead through to the two reception rooms: One has a large central stylish fireplace housing a wood burning stove and is fitted with a good range of oak bookshelves, ideal for a library and orientated towards being the quiet room of the house. The second reception room is very much a family area with plenty of space for large gatherings, dinners and watching television. A light room with a double aspect and doors out to the garden. A pantry with a range of built-in larder cupboards, space and plumbing for an American style fridge/freezer and a door to the garden, utility room and kitchen. The kitchen has been built in the roundel and fitted with handmade, bespoke oak units with curved worksurfaces and breakfast bar. Integrated steam oven, rotisserie and standard oven with a five ring gas hob and dishwasher. In addition is a utility room in which has plumbing for a washing machine and space for tumble dryer, two wall mounted gas boilers, storage and door to the garden.

On the first floor: The bedrooms are divided into two wings: The main bedrooms is in the roundel of the oast and has a vaulted ceiling with integrated coving lighting and oak cross beams. Two windows enjoy views over surrounding countryside. The dressing room is fully fitted with oak wardrobes and the en-suite has a full bathroom suite. In this wing there are two further double bedrooms, both with en-suite bathrooms. In the second wing are two more double bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room and currently used as a study and the other with an en-suite bathroom.

OUTSIDE: There is a GYM, workshop and log store in one building, double barn garage, one side with double doors and the other side open, with a garden toilet to the rear. Overlooking a very pretty large pond with a waterfall is a SUMMER HOUSE with a projecting decked area. There is a mature Weeping Willow at the end of the pond which is also well stocked with pond plants. The main garden is laid to level lawn with young trees planted along each side, a mature hedge surrounds it and extends around to the back and side of the property. From the kitchen is a smaller area of private garden ideal for domestic purposes as it is hidden from all the social parts of the garden. As the Oast was part of a farm, there are other converted barns which share a driveway until reaching the private drive to the Oast, via double electric wooden gates. If maintenance is required on the shared drive, the proportion this property pays is only 10% of the overall cost.

Services: Mains water, Klargester waste system. Gas central heating via two boilers. Tax Band E.
