Description
Moat Farm Oast has been recently converted into two fabulous dwellings which each offer approximately 2,800 sq ft of accommodation. Set in an idyllic \"Darling Buds of May\" setting with views out across fields and towards the church spire. With direct access from Collier Street (the B2162) the driveway leads to Moat Farm Oast whereby both dwellings are set on an extensive plot which will be split into individual gardens and parking.
An Oast house is a familiar feature of the Kent rural landscape and many of these large agricultural buildings have been converted into homes over the years. However, few of these conversions have been handled so reverently to retain the original features whilst creating a luxurious family home with particular attention to insulation over and above the standard requirement. The mellow brickwork has been carefully cleaned and repointed. The whole building has a new damp proof course and original timbers have been treated. Great care and consideration has been given to the design of the five bedrooms, set out over three floors with additional, useful loft storage space which has been fully boarded and is easily accessible.
The cowls and the winch have been remade and are a glorious external feature of the oast house which also includes new bat boxes. The beautiful arch windows and casement doors ensure light and airy rooms and in the sitting room there is a fireplace with bressumer beam. Inside the joinery is silky smooth solid wood and features exposed timbers.
The kitchen and utility room will be fitted with a fabulous units, designed and supplied by Woodworks of Southborough offering a contemporary design yet in keeping with the character features. The bathrooms will all be luxuriously fitted with Saneux white suites.
