Summary - LEALANDS OAST STATION ROAD GROOMBRIDGE TUNBRIDGE WELLS TN3 9NB
4 bed 4 bath Detached
Characterful oast house with annexe and planning consent to enlarge into an outstanding family home.
Detached roundel oast conversion with exposed beams and inglenook fireplace
Lealands Oast is a distinctive detached oast conversion set on the edge of Groombridge, offering generous family accommodation and attractive rural outlooks. The house combines traditional features — exposed beams, high vaulted ceilings in the roundel, polished oak floors and an impressive inglenook with wood burner — with practical family spaces including a fitted kitchen/breakfast room, utility and spacious reception rooms. The principal bedroom benefits from a vaulted ceiling and well-appointed en suite facilities. A detached annexe currently used as a home office has planning consent to be extended and connected to the main house (WD/2016/3017/LDE), presenting clear potential to create a larger, more coherent family home.
Externally the plot is about a quarter of an acre with a sweeping rear lawn, fruit trees, summerhouse and paved terrace, plus off-street parking for several cars accessed via a private drive and five-bar gate. The village location gives a quiet rural feel while remaining within c.4 miles of Tunbridge Wells and its schools, shops and mainline station. Local primary schooling is close by and there are several highly regarded independent and state secondary schools within easy reach.
Practical points to note: broadband speeds reported as slow, council tax is high (Wealden Band G), and the annexe extension requires execution of the existing planning consent to realise full potential. The property was converted in 1994 with timber-frame construction and double glazing fitted before 2002; the heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators. This is a characterful house suited to buyers who value period charm, space and countryside living, and who may wish to invest to connect and expand the annexe.
