Beautifully presented oast with landscaped gardens, pool and a rural Sandhurst setting.

Description

Sundial Oast is an immaculately presented and beautifully renovated oast house, discreetly positioned in a tucked away rural setting in Sandhurst, surrounded by stunning landscaped gardens and a pool. Thoughtfully improved in recent years, the property is finished to an exceptional standard while retaining a wealth of character and generous proportions.

Approached via a gravel driveway, the entrance opens into a spacious reception area. To one side are an immaculate cloakroom and a well-appointed laundry room, while ahead the space widens into a large hall currently arranged as a study area. From here, the home flows naturally into an elegant dining room, bathed in natural light from windows on one side and a striking glass wall on the other, which frames views into the kitchen.

At the heart of the house lies a superb open-plan kitchen, dining and snug area, combining practicality with charm. This inviting space features stone flooring, granite worktops and a central island, along with integrated appliances including a fridge, two freezers, dishwasher, built-in ovens, hob and sink. Exposed beams and oak detailing enhance the character, while two sets of doors open directly onto the garden, filling the room with light. Underfloor heating adds modern comfort, and the layout flows seamlessly through to the sitting room, where wooden flooring and a gas fire create a warm and relaxing atmosphere.

A wide staircase with an exposed brick wall leads to the first floor, where a large landing enhances the sense of openness. There are five generously sized bedrooms, including two distinctive roundel rooms offering delightful views across the gardens and surrounding countryside. The principal suite is particularly impressive, featuring a double aspect, far-reaching views and a luxurious en suite shower room with twin basins. A beautifully finished main bathroom includes a freestanding bath and separate shower, completing the accommodation.

Outside, the gardens are a true highlight, thoughtfully landscaped and ideal for both relaxation and entertaining. A wonderful terrace provides space for outdoor dining, complemented by a south-facing courtyard offering another sheltered setting to enjoy the surroundings. The garden is rich with mature planting, trees and raised beds, all meticulously maintained.

A striking pond with a decked area creates a tranquil setting for evening drinks, with far-reaching rural views beyond. The pool is well-sized, heated and securely enclosed, accompanied by a pergola that provides an excellent entertaining space. Additional benefits include a car port with an attached storage room.

Sundial Oast presents a rare opportunity to enjoy a home of exceptional character, comfort and style in a peaceful countryside setting.
