Station Road, Rotherfield, Crowborough, East Sussex

If countryside and character are top of your list this gorgeous modernised oast house should tick all the right boxes. It is located in the beautiful High Weald National Landscape with farmland all around but is not isolated as there are other properties nearby and it is only a minute’s drive to Rotherfield village.

The property has been sensitively refurbished to a very high standard while retaining period features and has been beautifully maintained. It is approached along a gravel driveway flanked by high hedging that leads to the double garage and provides plenty of off-road parking. The front doors opens directly into a superb reception hall with a plethora of ceiling beams that continue throughout most of the property, impressive vertical beams, oak flooring that flows throughout much of the building and a veritable wall of full height windows and patio doors. There is a charming dining room with built in cupboards, stairs to the first floor and access to the fascinating circular kitchen/breakfast room which includes flat fronted units housing various appliances and a peninsular breakfast bar. On the other side of the hall is a cloakroom, utility area and two double bedrooms with fitted cupboards and vaulted and beamed ceilings served by a Jack and Jill shower room.

On the first floor is the breath-taking double height, dual aspect vaulted ceiling sitting room that is large enough to incorporate a study area. It features a modern log burner and offers stunning countryside views. The charming principal suite that is housed in the circular oast and includes fitted cupboards and a spiral staircase leading up to the ensuite bathroom.

Outside there is a storage shed beside the garage and the easy-to-manage garden is primarily laid to lawn bordered by a block paved pathway and is surrounded by high hedging providing privacy and security.
