A stylish family home built in 2020 tucked away within this small farmstead
Description
Built in 2020, Lowthian oast is an impressive contemporary family house, set in a small and secure farmstead development of just three houses, based on the theme of a farmhouse, together with its neighbouring barn and oast.
The homes in this exclusive development are substantial and the delightful setting is semi-rural in character, being nestled at the end of a long estate driveway, set back from the Frant to Wadhurst Road.
Lowthian Oast enjoys an outlook over woodland to the front and to fields to the rear and benefits from an area of meadow to the side, raised up on the bank. The property is finished in a minimalist contemporary-style, with the emphasis on large rooms and enjoys a southerly aspect to the rear.
The expansive kitchen/dining/family room is of particular note, fitted with AEG appliances, a generous larder cupboard and a central island unit with a breakfast bar. Sliding glazed doors open onto the rear terrace and garden. There are two other reception rooms, one carpeted, used as a TV snug and the larger one is finished with oak flooring. Upstairs there are spacious bedrooms and a good ratio of bedrooms to bathrooms and shower rooms.
