  • Peaceful location
  • Unobstructed views
  • Grade II listed
  • Circa 2.2 acres
  • Countryside walks
  • Short drive to MLS
A unique and characterful Grade II listed oast conversion set in an idyllic peaceful rural location surrounded by open countryside set amid circa 2.2 acres of garden.

The Abbey Oast is set in the most idyllic of locations, along a private no through lane surrounded by open countryside, with only bird song to disturb the peace and quiet. Some original parts of the property date from medieval times with additions added in the 19th and 20th centuries and converted to a residential dwelling sometime in the 20th century. The property enjoys good ceiling heights throughout, particularly in the square Oast sections and offers versatile accommodation.

The Abbey Oast is a unique family home, something of the like that doesn’t come to the market very often, and is being marketed for the first time in forty years. It is accompanied by a triple garage and circa 2.2 acres of garden.

NO ONWARD CHAIN.
