6 bedroom house

Located in the picturesque Kent countryside yet within easy reach of a local village and the larger towns of Tonbridge, Sevenoaks and Tunbridge Wells, this statuesque and significant example of a Kent Oast house covers over 6000ft2 of living space set over three floors and with far reaching views over the surrounding fields. The property is one half of an original six roundel Oast house (with larger than ordinary sized roundels) and has been expanded and renovated by the current owners during their time in the house. The property combines ample and excellent living and entertaining space with six bedrooms and a working office space alongside three quarters of an acre of gardens with an excellent swimming pool and ample parking.

The main entrance comes through one of the roundels, lofted through three floors (and with staircase access to each level) and provides a striking signature entrance to the house. A formal dining room with parquet flooring acts as both an inner hallway and wonderful dining and entertaining space; with the ability to sit up to 20 people. A light and spacious kitchen with stone flooring and multi-purpose central island (filled with bespoke wall and base units and integrated appliances) fills one of the rear roundels alongside “the Green Room” with wood burning stove and bar area; forming either an excellent snug, family room or additional living room. A large storage space sits between roundels and a further inner hallway/storage room links to a fully fitted utility room and downstairs WC/shower room. At the front of the building, with its own entrance, is found a large multi-purpose room which has found use as a functioning office, gym, games room or additional entertaining space.

The first floor is accessed via two staircases; one form the kitchen or one through the main entrance hallway. Located in the two rear roundels the master suite (with en suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe) is accompanied by a guest suite with shower. At the front of the building sits a large south facing lounge covering over 650ft2 in size; accessed from the bedroom side, the main entrance hallway and the guest suite area. This guest suite then consists of a large double bedroom with ample storage and separate bathroom together with a dressing room/inner hallway entrance to the games room on the top floor. The top floor (again, accessed from two staircases, one at each end of the building) has been converted by the current owners into a vast 1100ft2 entertainment/games/media room; perfect as a family room, large office, children's playroom or a multitude of other uses. With a south facing aspect but also with a triple aspect this room leads into two additional double bedrooms and to a spiral staircase that leads back down into the entrance roundel. The two bedroom suites each fill the top floor of the two rear roundels with mezzanine dressing room/children's room and an en suite shower room apiece. Both bedrooms have glorious views out over the garden and the countryside beyond.

The property sits in landscaped and beautifully maintained gardens of approximately 0.75 of an acre. Immediately outside the kitchen is a formal paved terrace, perfect for entertaining alongside a kitchen garden and three cascading ornamental ponds. A BBQ area sits alongside together with a heated swimming pool and wooden summerhouse. The garden then extends from the rear of the property and is mainly set to lawn alongside mature shrubs and borders. At the front of the garden a shingled driveway leads to ample exterior parking and two independent double garages.

The property is ideally located for local villages with both Hadlow and East Peckham approximately 1.5 miles away. Both offer local shopping facilities including bakers, pharmacists, pubs, restaurants and general stores. A small step further away is the bustling town of Tonbridge with its mainline station (running into London Bridge and Charing Cross), excellent schools and a wide rang
