The Barracks, Goudhurst Road, Cranbrook, Kent, TN17

Very attractive detached three/four bedroom oast conversion with garden, garage, communal grounds and tennis court, in an exclusive gated development.

Description

Sackville Oast is one of six attractive and characterful properties in this small prestigious gated development in the sought-after town of Cranbrook. This complex of listed and curtilage listed buildings is understood to have originally been the local garrison where the now Sackville Oast was once the old stables.

This beautifully presented curtilage listed home which retains some interesting period features benefits from underfloor heating to the ground floor and offers light, flexible family accommodation which is arranged over two floors.

On the ground there is a dual aspect sitting room featuring a wood burning stove, exposed brickwork and part of an original stall is still in situ. The kitchen/breakfast room is a lovely room with doors to both the courtyard terrace and the south westerly-facing terrace and garden. It is equipped with a comprehensive range of cupboards with various integral appliances. Off the kitchen there is an adaptable family room/bedroom four and a utility room with shower and adjoining WC.

On the first floor there are three attractive bedrooms, including the principal bedroom which has a well appointed en suite bathroom. The remaining bedrooms are served by the family bathroom.

Sackville Oast is approached through the gated entrance and via the shared private drive serving all of the properties. There is off road parking for several cars and an open bay double garage. A pathway edged on either side by wide planted borders leads around to the pretty walled courtyard and through to the expansive lawned garden which enjoys a south westerly aspect. There is a wide terrace stretching the length of the house, an enclosed pond and a wooden boat house. Separate access can be gained to the garden via a five bar gate to one side of the garage.
