Property description
Enjoying an idyllic rural but not isolated location, this detached oast with the 'wow factor', was built in 1836 and converted in 1999.
Presented in immaculate order throughout, the accommodation consists of an entrance hall where the meeting of the roundels creates an exposed brick feature, a drawing room with an inglenook fireplace containing a wood burner and doors to the terrace, roundel sitting room, roundel family room, study, kitchen/breakfast room with door to the terrace, utility room, boot room and a cloakroom on the ground floor.
The first floor with a galleried landing area again features the exposed brick where the roundels meet, with the accommodation consisting of a master bedroom with ensuite shower room, two further double bedrooms, two double roundel bedrooms, a family bathroom and a separate shower room.
Outside there is an enclosed formal garden of approximately one acre laid extensively to lawn with a central feature of what is believed to be a beautiful 700 year old Oak tree. To the rear of the property there is an enclosed paved terrace ideal for outside entertaining. Electric gates open onto the driveway where there is a triple bay garage with storage and additional parking. To the rear of the garaging there is a paddock of approximately 4 acres which leads down to a pond. Within the paddock is an indoor riding school which belonged to the original Benenden Riding Establishment.
This stunning oast is located within the much sought after Cranbrook School Catchment Area.
Leather on willow is a common sound during the Summer on the village green, a feature of Benenden which also benefits from two pubs (one with awards), a large general store and post office, a hairdresser and a good butchers. More comprehensive shopping is available in nearby Tenterden and Cranbrook.
There are many excellent private and state schools for children of all ages in the area, and this unique property is not only located within the sought after Cranbrook School Catchment Area but is also close to the local Primary School.
Mainline Rail Services available from Headcorn and Staplehurst. Nearby M20 (junctions 8 or 9) and the A21 just outside Hawkhurst gives access to the Motorways.
