Well-proportioned & stylishly presented oast house set within established south facing gardens on the edge of this popular village.
Description
The Oast, Forge Farm is a very characterful, well-presented family home of mixed ages, comprising three roundels, one squaredel and two original barns. The light, versatile and well-proportioned accommodation is ideal for entertaining and family living, with salient points including modern kitchen and bathroom suites, exposed wall and ceiling timbers, some wood paneling, high ceilings throughout, some exposed brick walls and wood flooring. The property is within a hamlet of five properties, close to fields and a public footpath with easy access to the road network via the A26. Situated on the edge of Mereworth village, the property is ideally located for West Malling station and town, and sits within established south-facing gardens with lovely views across the surrounding countryside. In total, the plot amounts to about 0.6 of an acre.
The generous sitting room has a view and access to the rear garden, as does the impressive triple aspect dining room.
The family room, study and boot room are located within the three roundels, with the family room currently utilised as a gym.
The contemporary kitchen/breakfast room is a superb space with an excellent range of wall and base cupboards with a complimenting island unit, an Aga, integral dishwasher and space for a fridge/freezer.
There is also a laundry room, a pantry and an under stairs cupboard.
Stairs rise to the galleried landing and six well-proportioned double bedrooms, three of which are located within the roundels. The principal bedroom has a dressing room and is served by a stylish en suite shower room and two further bedrooms have modern en suite shower rooms.
The well-appointed family bathroom with a Jacuzzi bath and separate shower completes the accommodation.
To the front, the property is approached over a shared access which leads onto the generous private drive and detached double garage.
The south facing, part-walled rear garden is a real feature and provides a lovely backdrop to the property. A paved terrace, with a decked area, extends the width of the property and is ideal for al fresco entertaining. The garden is mainly laid to lawn interspersed with mature specimen trees and evergreen shrubs to the borders, providing a high degree of privacy. In total, the plot amounts to about 0.6 of an acre.
