An attractive detached oast with strong period character and substantial scope for improvement. Set on a large, hedge-lined plot in Chart Sutton, the house keeps original features such as exposed beams, a traditional oast cowl and generous principal rooms. The property requires full modernisation and reconfiguration to realise its potential.
This is a practical project for an investor or buyer wanting a character home close to Headcorn and Maidstone. The double garage and driveway provide parking and present clear conversion potential (subject to planning). The layout already offers flexible living space across large rooms — including a 19'7" reception and equally large principal bedroom — that will benefit from updating and sympathetic refurbishment.
Important practical points: the house is solid brick and likely lacks wall insulation, broadband speeds are slow, and the property is advertised as needing renovation. Council tax is described as quite expensive. Virtual-staged images demonstrate possible styling only; other photos show the current condition. Buyers should budget for renovation costs and confirm planning consents for any garage conversion or structural changes.
