Oast House / Family Home
With its conical shaped roof, mellow brickwork, cedar cladding and attractive chimney it is immediately appealing and this is enhanced even further by the beautiful arched oak double front door. This leads to the entrance hall with its engineered oak flooring that flows through much of the ground floor and an open tread staircase with a glass and oak bannister. The hall is open plan to the lovely circular dining area in the oast where friends and family can enjoy the delightful ambiance. The kitchen is completely open to the conservatory that has windows on three sides and French doors to the rear terrace providing a light and bright atmosphere, a seating area and views over the garden and beyond. The kitchen incorporates shaker style units housing a hob, built in double oven, fridge freezer and dishwasher while still leaving plenty of room for a large kitchen table and chairs. There is a gorgeous dual aspect lounge with inset ceiling lights, a feature brick wall and an inglenook fireplace with a contemporary Swedish log burner. The fireplace is flanked by beamed shelving and includes an impressive Bressummer beam that spans the width of the wall and is believed to have come for an old ship. This floor also includes a cloakroom and a utility room as well as a study with a feature brick wall currently in use as a gym. The first floor beamed and galleried landing includes a useful airing cupboard and access to a family bathroom and four double bedrooms. One is dual aspect with a painted wood floor and stunning views, another has a multi-pane casement window and also enjoys the rural views, while the charming circular room in the oast has an ensuite shower as does the spacious principal suite. While on the second floor you will find a seating area with views to the top of the roundel and a fascinating arch through to a vaulted ceiling double bedroom with Velux windows. No doubt a teenager will instantly want to reserve this floor as it creates a very special ‘hideaway’ and somewhere to entertain their friends. The charming garden includes a terrace that spans the width of the house with a pizza oven/barbecue and is ideal for al fresco dining or just sitting and enjoying the views. There is a wooden oak framed garage with upper storage facilities and a spacious lawn and a pergola covered archway leading to the kitchen garden with a greenhouse, raised vegetable beds and a new storage shed that backs onto orchards.
