Set at the end of a private no-through lane, The Oast is a striking Grade II listed oast-house that blends historic character with thorough recent renovation. The conversion retains period features — twin kilns, exposed brick, timber weatherboarding and a handcrafted oak staircase — while adding modern comforts such as engineered oak floors, underfloor heating and contemporary bath/shower suites.
The house offers four bedrooms, two reception rooms and well-planned living space across multiple levels, plus a cosy sitting room with a wood-burning stove. Outside, the very large plot features meticulously landscaped cottage-style gardens, a sizeable pond and extensive terraced seating areas that create a private, sheltered setting for family life and entertaining. A double garage and driveway parking add practical convenience.
This property will particularly appeal to buyers seeking a distinctive rural family home near Wittersham, with easy access to Tenterden and Rye for schools, shops and amenities. The location delivers peace, rural views and miles of countryside walking on the doorstep.
Important practical points: the Grade II listing will impose restrictions and may complicate future alterations. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is only average. Council tax is described as quite expensive. These factors should be weighed alongside the house’s renovation standard and generous plot when considering suitability.
