A well presented, Grade II listed two roundel oast house dating back to the mid 1800s, nestled in a countryside setting. Approached via a no-through lane, this characterful home offers flexible family living in an idyllic location with far-reaching rural views. Inside, a tiled entrance hall, leads to the converted garage, now divided into a generous utility room and a games room/snug. Stone flooring runs throughout the ground floor. There is a light-filled, double-aspect dining room provides the perfect setting for entertaining. The kitchen, set within one of the roundels, features a painted oak finish, electric oven, gas hob, and a useful larder cupboard housing the boiler. A downstairs WC completes the ground floor. Upstairs, the first floor landing opens to a spacious area with a built-in bookcase. A sitting room/ study with a wood-burning stove offers a warm and inviting workspace, while the family room enjoys a double aspect and a relaxed atmosphere. A generously sized bedroom set within a roundel and a family bathroom with bath and overhead shower complete the first floor. The second floor comprises three further bedrooms: a bedroom with access to a Jack and Jill bathroom, another roundel bedroom with ample space, and a third bedroom featuring built-in cupboards. Across the lane, the property’s garden extends to approximately 0.75 acres and includes parking for several cars, a tree-lined avenue ideal for alfresco entertaining, and a lawned area. A charming orchard with mature fruit trees; apple, pear, plum, cherry, and crab apple, adds to the appeal, alongside a tree house and shed. Additional features include oil-fired central heating and fibre broadband, making this a perfect blend of traditional character and modern convenience. View payable Stamp Duty for this property
