The Plain, Goudhurst, Cranbrook, Kent, TN17

A MOST ATTRACTIVE WEALDEN STYLE HALL HOUSE CONSTRUCTED AT THE TURN OF THE CENTURY NOW REQUIRING UPDATING LOCATED IN THE HEART OF GOUDHURST VILLAGE AND ENJOYING FAR REACHING VIEWS.

* CRANBROOK SCHOOL CATCHMENT *

Oakley is a real gem of a property; situated in a tucked away position in the heart of Goudhurst village, enjoying a peaceful setting with uninterrupted far-reaching views across Wealden countryside.

The property is approached along a private driveway to arrive at an area of parking for about 4 vehicles.

Oakley was constructed just before the turn of the century and built in the style of traditional Wealden hall houses, with oak framing, leaded windows and internal latched doors. It is presented as a blank canvas and would benefit from redecoration and updating. The accommodation is set across two levels, with an entrance hall, sitting room, kitchen/breakfast room, shower room, and cloakroom to the ground floor, master bedroom with en suite bathroom, two further double bedrooms and family bathroom to the first floor. Additionally, there is a large loft room above the garage which is accessed by its own internal staircase and could be utilised as an additional bedroom, and an indoor swimming pool adjacent to the garage which requires maintenance.

Outside, the gardens are mainly to the front of the property, with an enclosed private courtyard space to the rear. Mature trees and shrubs enclose the gardens with some sloped terracing filled with an abundance of perennials and cottage style plants.
