Rose Hill, Ticehurst, TN5

The Oast House is tucked-away down a private, unmade lane, just off Church Street in the centre of Ticehurst village. The lane leads to a private square, shared with just three other houses, which offers additional visitor parking, although each house has its own private parking. The Oast House itself has a detached double garage with parking in front on a brick paved driveway.

The house is of brick and timber construction with half-tile hung elevations under a tiled roof. The windows are all double glazed.

Inside there is a large, triple aspect open plan sitting/dining room, divided by a feature, double-sided brick fireplace with stone shelves and copper canopies, housing a woodburning stove. French doors lead out to the side courtyard garden from the sitting room and stairs lead up to the first floor.

The double aspect kitchen/breakfast room is located in the former curved roundel of the oast, with exposed brick walls and an old brick chimney breast. It is currently fitted with a range of solid wood base units, topped with tiled worktops. There is a peninsular breakfast bar, 5-ring gas hob, double oven and space for a dishwasher. Two of the windows by the sink look out over a small courtyard area on the West side. A stable-style door leads through to the adjoining utility room, which houses the mains gas boiler, has space for laundry appliances and has French doors out to the side courtyard.

Completing the ground floor is a WC accessed off the entrance hall area.

Arranged over the first floor are three double bedrooms and the bathroom. One of the bedrooms and the bathroom are located in the roundel. The generous, main, triple aspect bedroom has a lovely view towards St Mary’s Church and built-in wardrobes, one of which conceals a shower cubicle.   The bathroom is fitted with a panelled bath with shower over, WC and washbasin.

There is a paved courtyard garden on the East side of the house, accessed off the sitting room and with a gate to the front, which features a small, raised, ornamental pond and flower beds. At the other end of the house is another small courtyard area, with doors from the utility room and a gate out to the front. There is a pathway along the back of the house linking the two.

Across the shared square and behind the garage lies the main garden area, which is largely laid to lawn and has a further raised paved patio and planted beds. There is also a shed and greenhouse in this area.
