The Oast Barn is a charming three bedroom detached stone barn conversion, believed to date back over 200 years, the vendors have informed us that when they bought the property they understood it was Grade II Listed but a few years ago they found out it probably was not (This is to be verified). Occupying an exceptional semi-rural setting within approximately 34 acres of formal gardens, paddocks, pasture and hayfields, orchard and woodland, with a stream bordering part of the land. Combining the character of a traditional Kentish building with a thoughtfully appointed interior, the property also benefits from two adjoining, currently dilapidated and unconverted oast roundels, one of which is currently a private, enchanting courtyard, offering an intriguing opportunity for restoration or potential incorporation into additional accommodation, subject to the necessary planning and Listed Building consents. The accommodation extends to approximately 1,229 sq ft and retains a wealth of character, with exposed ceiling timbers to a number of rooms, oak framed windows, oak internal doors with complementary ironmongery and a handmade oak staircase. The impressive kitchen/dining room forms the heart of the home and features a bespoke, hand-built country-style kitchen with oak work surfaces, a range-style cooker and central island. Enjoying a double aspect, the room also has doors opening towards one of the adjoining oast roundels and access to a cloakroom/WC. The separate sitting room is equally characterful, with an attractive brick-built open fireplace, exposed beams and a stable door opening onto the garden. Underfloor heating serves the ground floor. A handmade turned oak staircase rises to the part-galleried first floor landing, from which there are three bedrooms and the family bathroom. The principal bedroom enjoys a double aspect and its own en-suite shower room, while the particularly distinctive family bathroom features twin wash basins, natural mosaic-style tiling and a unique freestanding teak bath, which we understand was individually handcrafted by a Scottish boat builder. Radiators provide heating to the first floor. Outside, The Oast Barn is approached via a wide gated shared driveway leading to a generous parking area with the additional benefit of a car port. The formal gardens immediately surrounding the barn include an apple and pear orchard, a roundel courtyard and a decked entertaining area with bar, together with a detached summerhouse, adjoining decking and Jacuzzi, and a separate cabin/garden store. The extensive grounds are a defining feature of the property and provide a particularly appealing setting for those seeking an equestrian or smallholding lifestyle. Extending in all to approximately 34 acres, the land incorporates three paddocks, hayfields, pasture and a small area of woodland, with a stream bordering part of the land. Post and rail fencing divides much of the grazing land and the substantial six-box stable block extends to approximately 1,176 sq ft. The historic Pilgrims Way is also understood to be within approximately 20 minutes' hacking distance. Situated on the rural fringes of the Wrotham and Trottiscliffe area, The Oast Barn enjoys far-reaching countryside views while remaining conveniently placed for village amenities and transport connections.
