Summary - FERN OAST DEAN STREET EAST FARLEIGH MAIDSTONE ME15 0HT
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Secluded four-bedroom family home set in about four acres with valley views.
Grade II listed twin-roundel oast with historic features
Fern Oast is a rare Grade II listed twin-roundel oast set in about four acres of parkland and mature woodland, offering sweeping Medway Valley views. The converted oast retains period character — ragstone and shiplap elevations, an inglenook fireplace and bright double-aspect rooms — arranged over a generous 2,253 sq ft footprint with four bedrooms and three reception rooms.
The sweeping gravel drive leads to a detached kiln providing garaging and storage, while extensive lawns, specimen trees and a decked terrace create private outdoor rooms for family life and entertaining. The accommodation includes a fitted kitchen with Rangemaster oven, principal reception room with wood burner, family bathroom plus a separate cloakroom/shower room. Mobile signal and broadband are excellent, and the village setting sits close to good primary and grammar schools.
Important practical points are straightforward: the house is listed, so alterations and extensions will require listed-building and planning consents and may be more complex and costly. Heating is oil-fired, which suits rural locations but carries ongoing fuel and servicing costs. The substantial plot and period fabric will require regular maintenance and potential conservation works.
For a buyer seeking a characterful, secluded family home with exceptional grounds and rural views, Fern Oast presents a rare opportunity. The property also offers scope to extend or adapt subject to the necessary consents, allowing long-term potential while preserving its historic charm.
