House For Sale £1,250,000
A substantial attached Grade II listed oast house of 4770 sq ft plus outbuildings providing scope for additional development amid over 2 acres of grounds in an idyllic rural location * No Onward Chain *
Located along a private driveway, 1 Bull Oast is a substantial family home amid over 2 acres of grounds and set in the most peaceful of rural locations.
The property dates from the mid 19th century, traditionally built with red brick in Flemish bond and was cleverly converted to residential dwellings in the 1970s. 1 Bull Oast boasts three circular kilns of expansive proportions, each retaining the distinctive conical roofs and cowls. From the first floor, all bedrooms enjoy views either to the garden and surrounding countryside or the nearby village of Coxheath.
The substantial accommodation is arranged across two floors and provides masses of space for day-to-day family life and entertaining. The main entrance opens into a spacious circular entrance hall with tiled flooring. Of particular note is the magnificent panelled drawing room furnished with an impressive inglenook fireplace with wood and coal burning stove; a magical setting for cosy nights in front of the fire. French doors open out onto a paved terrace, ideal for al fresco dining. The ground floor is complimented with a bespoke fitted kitchen, dining room, utility room and office nook. In addition, the cloakroom is fitted with a shower cubicle, WC and pedestal basin with an adjacent coat storage cupboard providing ample storage for winter coats and muddy boots.
On the first floor are five bedrooms and two well appointed bathrooms. A loft hatch located in one of the bedrooms provides access to a substantial loft space which, subject to any necessary planning consent(s), offers potential for further development.
Outside, the gardens are mainly laid to lawn interspersed with mature trees and bordered by mature hedging, fencing and brick walling. The garden leads into a small paddock with an apple orchard beyond. A stable block with hard standing and four stables is ideally placed at the top of the garden for accessing the paddock. The garden is complemented by a double garage with adjacent parking for a number of vehicles and wooden summer house.
