Description
Set within an idyllic former working farm setting, this exceptional four-bedroom twin-roundel oast house offers a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully restored period home that seamlessly blends historic character with contemporary living. Adding to its unique appeal, the property has been featured on Celebrity Escape to the Country (Season 3, Episode 1), starring Neil “Razor” Ruddock, highlighting its distinctive architecture and lifestyle credentials.
Rich in architectural charm, the property showcases iconic roundel structures, exposed beams, brick detailing and traditional oast features, all thoughtfully complemented by modern finishes and high-specification amenities. The result is a home of genuine individuality, warmth and style.
The ground floor is centred around a stunning kitchen/family room, forming an impressive and sociable heart of the home. Fitted with bespoke wooden cabinetry, a combination of solid oak and granite work surfaces, and space for a range cooker and American-style fridge/freezer, the kitchen effortlessly balances rustic charm with modern practicality. Underfloor heating runs throughout the ground floor, enhancing comfort and cohesion. From here, the accommodation flows into two remarkable roundel rooms: a characterful sitting room with access to the patio and a striking dining room, both offering unique curved walls and an atmospheric setting for everyday living and entertaining.
Upstairs, the sense of character continues. Two of the double bedrooms are positioned within the roundels, creating distinctive and memorable spaces with charming proportions and views across the surrounding countryside. A further double bedroom and an additional fourth bedroom or study provide flexible accommodation, ideal for families, guests or home working. A beautifully appointed family bathroom serves the first floor, complemented by a modern shower room on the ground floor.
The property benefits from a strong focus on energy efficiency, including an air source heat pump and solar panels, resulting in an impressive EPC rating of B. This combination of heritage and sustainability makes the home both environmentally conscious and cost-efficient to run.
Externally, the property enjoys a low-maintenance garden with patio areas, lawn and established planting, ideal for outdoor dining and relaxation. A tandem double garage with electric doors provides excellent parking and storage, while the attached outbuilding incorporates a utility/work area, WC, secure storage room and a fully equipped home office currently used as a soundproofed studio — offering excellent versatility and potential for conversion into a self-contained annexe (subject to the necessary planning permissions), if required. The total plot including the attached outbuilding extends to approximately 0.15 of an acre.
Equestrian potential: Subject to separate agreement, there may be the opportunity to arrange stabling on the neighbouring farm — a rare and attractive addition for those seeking an equestrian lifestyle
Offered to the market with no onward chain, this unique oast house represents a rare blend of history, character and modern comfort, set within a picturesque rural environment yet within easy reach of nearby villages, towns and transport links.
