Guide price: £895,000 to £925,000. This stunning oast house conversion is sat on a lovely plot comprised of landscaped gardens and additional paddocks (measuring 3.69 acres), with a range of outbuildings as well as access via a country lane. Suitable for use as a family home and small holding or equally, for small equestrian use.

This unlisted, single kiln oast, dates from the late 1800s, sympathetically converted in 2005, recently extended and presenting period features such as exposed beams and timbers, pine internal doors and vaulted ceilings to the first floor. The ground floor is particularly impressive with an entrance hall which leads to a large, kitchen/breakfast room and family area, which in turn, has access to the roundel reception room and recently added sun room. In addition to the ground floor there is a useful utility room and downstairs cloakroom.

The first floor has been carefully thought out with four bedrooms to include a delightful roundel main bedroom with an en-suite facility. Additionally, is the installation of an electric ladder which provides access to the third floor, fifth bedroom.

Externally, are the delightful and well-manicured gardens, mainly laid to lawn and include raised beds and borders with a range of mature trees and shrubs interspersing the beds and boundaries. A stone terrace, adjacent to the house, provides ample space for al fresco dining. There is also an orchard that includes a range of productive fruit trees which leads to the fenced paddock areas with secondary road access.

There is a gated, gravel driveway providing ample parking and access to an oak framed double garage with two bays, a workshop area and useful loft space.

This home is set at the end of a private driveway in a tucked-away location on the rural periphery of Hurst Green and within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

There are a good choice of schools in both the state and private sectors and excellent road and rail links with the A21 giving access to Tunbridge Wells, Hastings and the M25. Robertsbridge and Etchingham Stations provide services to London Charing Cross too.
