A Grade II listed oast conversion in an idyllic Kentish setting

Description

Set on the outskirts of the charming village of Bridge, just south of Canterbury, Renville Oast is a substantial Grade II listed detached triple kiln oast conversion offering a rare combination of refined living space, mature gardens, and a peaceful rural outlook. This distinguished property has been thoughtfully maintained and greatly enhanced by the present owner, including installing new Accoya windows and oil boiler, and cowl and roof renovations, creating a warm yet sophisticated home perfectly suited to modern living.

Renville Oast represents a rare opportunity to acquire an individual property set within a Conservation Area in one of Kent’s most desirable locations, combining character, comfort, and accessibility in equal measure.

The property is approached via a private road to a gravelled driveway and parking area, with integral garage, leading to a welcoming entrance. Inside, the accommodation is well-proportioned and arranged over two floors, with a natural flow between formal and informal spaces. The principal reception rooms are light-filled and generously sized, featuring attractive outlooks across the gardens and surrounding countryside. A well-appointed roundel kitchen/breakfast room forms the heart of the home, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom suite enjoys a tranquil aspect with an en suite shower room and separate dressing room/ bedroom 6, with ample bespoke wardrobe storage. Additional bedrooms are equally well-presented, served by stylish en-suite shower rooms, and separate family bathroom, offering flexibility for family, guests, or home working.

Externally, the gardens are predominantly laid to lawn and interspersed with mature trees. An established border surrounds the south facing terrace area, with a hot tub, outside kitchen, seating and dining area taking full advantage of the peaceful surroundings, making it an ideal setting for outdoor living. The grounds provide both privacy and a sense of openness, with views over the adjacent countryside.
