5 bedroom house

An impressive attached oast conversion providing substantial family living space set in a rural enclave with countryside views to the rear.

2 Moat Farm Oast is part of an impressive oast converted about four years ago. The property presents traditional brick elevations inset with attractive arched window frames and traditional pulley which would have been used to hoist the hops into the kilns in bygone days.

Today, the property provides well-proportioned accommodation arranged over three floors. There are lofty ceiling heights and capacious windows, creating a bright and airy atmosphere throughout. The ground floor and bathrooms benefit from smart travertine floor tiles or oak flooring with neutral carpets in the bedrooms. The property is decorated in tasteful neutral tones throughout, with oak internal doors complementing the original beams.

You enter the property through a bright and airy entrance hall from which there are double doors to the impressive sitting room. This lovely room has French doors to the terrace and garden views in addition to a striking fireplace with bressummer beam over. To the other side of the hall is the kitchen/diner which provides generous space for cooking and eating, with a bank of windows taking advantage of high levels of natural light and French doors to the gravel area. The kitchen is fitted with a good range of bespoke hand crafted painted wood units with peninsular unit under Corian work surfaces. There is plenty of storage space along with integral Smeg range cooker, extractor fan, fridge and dishwasher. The utility room is furnished with the same bespoke units and work surfaces as per the kitchen with space for a washing machine and freezer. There is also a contemporary cloakroom on the ground floor.

Above are five double bedrooms, any of which could be utilized as further reception space, ideal TV or family room, depending on individual family needs. The master bedroom has full height windows providing views over open countryside and above is a spectacular en suite bathroom with a lofty ceiling rising into the oast. Both this and the family bathroom are fitted to a high specification with luxurious features including freestanding double ended bathtub, basins set within chic modular vanity units and large format wall tiles.
