Description
EPC band: C
Historically, Branden Oast was a working oast house used for drying hops and more latterly an office building, but now having been cleverly and sympathetically converted it provides a stylish and inviting home which blends the character of the original building with a chic modern twist. The property is flooded from all angles by natural light and the high circular ceilings in the oast bedrooms are simply stunning. The huge engineered traditional block paved driveway and beautiful landscaped exterior make it dream for large gatherings in the summer with the stunning kitchen being the hub of the house flowing seamlessly to the outside. The inside of this property simply has to be experienced to appreciate its many wow features.
Block paved driveway for 10 cars
We spoke to the vendors about their stunning home and they were kind enough to provide us with the following information which we feel gives a real insight to the property
What attracted you to the property when you bought it?
On the first look of the property we were really impressed with the mix of majestic tradition of a double roundel oast house and the modern openness and flow of the interior. This is a combination that we had never seen before but dreamed we could own. The added advantage of this not being a listed building meant that there was scope to build and enhance with limited barriers. Moreover, the superb flexible layout of the property allowed us to consider how we wanted to utilise the vast bedroom space - this made things like creating our own library and study possible. The fantastic location to a direct line into London Charing Cross in the local village of Marden meant that we could have the luxury of idyllic countryside and the ease of access to the capital!
