Enjoying a wonderful semi-rural setting down a country lane, The Oast is an attractive oast and barn conversion dating from circa 1850 and converted in 2001 with southerly facing gardens and beautiful views.
Situated within Cranbrook School catchment area, this lovely five bedroom family home provides superbly presented accommodation arranged over two floors and having been meticulously renovated and reconfigured by the current owners it has been finished to a high specification throughout.
The stylish accommodation comprises a light and airy entrance hall, off which is the dual aspect roundel sitting room with log burner, a versatile family room with door to the side, a WC and a study with vaulted ceiling and fitted book shelving.
A particular feature is the impressive bespoke fitted kitchen/breakfast room with bi-fold doors that open from the dining area out to the southerly facing terrace.

The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
