This single-roundel oast house has been renovated and updated to provide comfortable family accommodation. The front door to the side of the property opens into a small hall with cloakroom to one side, opening on into the centrally-located family room. Forming the hub of the house, this spacious room with wood- burning stove and large under-stairs cupboard, opens out via French doors to the south-facing conservatory, has double doors into the roundel to the left and leads through to the kitchen/breakfast room to the right. All rooms feature bamboo floorboards, ensuring a warm and comfortable ambience throughout. The kitchen, fitted to three sides, features built-in under-counter appliances and a range-style cooker set into the chimney breast. A dining area to one side of the room also offers a partially screened utility area with space for laundry appliances and a work surface above. A side door from the kitchen opens out to a useful lean-to porch, brick-built and paved and open to one side. Ideal as a day- to-day family entrance and with plenty of space for keeping boots and other outside equipment under cover. Double doors open off the family room into the roundel. With an open fire opposite, flanked on both sides by windows on to the garden and farmland, this light and cosy sitting room is a delightful asset. Upstairs, reached via the staircase from the family room, is a dual- aspect master bedroom with en suite shower room, a bedroom in the roundel, two further bedrooms and a family bathroom. All bedrooms have views to the south over neighbouring fields, and views from the opposite side of the house look over the village of Lamberhurst to countyside and hillsides beyond. Outside The Oast House sits on a terrace of land with a mature garden surrounding the property and a spacious gravelled driveway which benefits from a newly-built oak framed open –bay double garage. Along the south side of the house the conservatory opens out on to a paved patio bounded by a sandstone retaining wall. Brick steps lead up from the driveway to a further terrace above the shared drive which offers a sheltered and largely level area of lawn.
