This fascinating property is not an historic oast house as it was only built around 2000 but it incorporates period features as well as contemporary aspects required by today's discerning owners. Located on the outskirts of Ash village and surrounded by orchards it is accessed by a gravel driveway for off road parking bordered by shrub beds with a pathway to the entrance. The arched oak double front door leads to the entrance hall with its engineered oak flooring that flows through much of the ground floor, a staircase with a glass and oak bannister and is open plan to the circular dining room.<p></p>The kitchen is open to the conservatory with windows on three sides and French doors to the rear terrace providing a seating area and charming views. The kitchen incorporates shaker style units housing various integrated appliances and space for a table and chairs.<p></p>The gorgeous dual aspect lounge has a feature brick wall and an inglenook fireplace with a Swedish log burner. The fireplace is flanked by shelving and includes a Bressummer beam that spans the width of the wall. There is also a cloakroom, a utility room and a study with a feature brick wall.<p></p>The first floor beamed and galleried landing includes an airing cupboard and access to a family bathroom and four double bedrooms. One is dual aspect with a painted wood floor and stunning views, another has a multi-pane casement window, while the circular room has an ensuite shower as does the spacious principal suite. The second floor includes a seating area with views to the top of the roundel and a fascinating arch to a vaulted ceiling double bedroom. <p></p>The charming garden includes a terrace that spans the width of the house with a pizza oven/barbecue and an oak framed garage with storage facilities. A spacious lawn leads to the kitchen garden that backs onto orchards and has a greenhouse, raised vegetable beds and a shed.<p></p>What the Owner says:<br/>This has been a fabulous home and I love the views and the quiet and tranquil environment but it is time to downsize. It is only a few minutes' walk to Ash with its period buildings, Grade I Listed church, a pub, two convenience stores, a chemist, hairdressers and a beauty spa. There are also sports clubs, activities in the village hall and fishing in Sandwich lakes as well as a good primary school and St Faith's prep school. Nearby Staple includes the Black Pig pub and restaurant, a garden centre and the Barnsole Vineyard. <br/>Sandwich is quite close with its pubs, restaurants, individual shops, station and championship golf courses while excellent grammar schools are available in Sandwich, Thanet and Dover and private schools in Dover, Canterbury and Ramsgate.<p></p>Room sizes:<ul><li><b>Entrance Hall</b></li><li><b>Dining Area</b>: 14'0 x 13'5 (4.27m x 4.09m)</li><li><b>Cloakroom</b></li><li><b>Utility Room</b>: 9'0 x 5'3 (2.75m x 1.60m)</li><li><b>Study</b>: 9'3 x 8'1 (2.82m x 2.47m)</li><li><b>Kitchen/Conservatory</b>: 19'9 x 12'2 (6.02m x 3.71m)</li><li><b>Sitting Room</b>: 22'6 (6.86m) narrowing to 18'11 (5.77m) x 16'5 (5.01m)</li><li><b>FIRST FLOOR</b></li><li><b>Landing</b></li><li><b>Bedroom 3</b>: 16'5 x 8'11 (5.01m x 2.72m)</li><li><b>Bedroom 4</b>: 13'1 x 10'8 (3.99m x 3.25m)</li><li><b>Main Bedroom</b>: 13'11 x 11'2 (4.24m x 3.41m)</li><li><b>En Suite Shower Room</b></li><li><b>Bathroom</b>: 7'10 x 6'1 (2.39m x 1.86m)</li></ul><ul><li><b>Bedroom 2</b>: 15'7 x 12'4 (4.75m x 3.76m)</li><li><b>En Suite Shower Room</b></li><li><b>SECOND FLOOR</b></li><li><b>Bedroom 5</b>: 13'0 x 12'7 (3.97m x 3.84m)</li><li><b>Dressing Area</b>: 12'0 maximum x 11'7 maximum (3.66m x 3.53m)</li><li><b>OUTBUILDING</b></li><li><b>Garage</b></li><li><b>Store</b></li><li><b>OUTSIDE</b></li><li><b>Driveway</b></li><li><b>Front Garden</b></li><li><b>Rear Garden</b></li><li><b>Greenhouse</b></li><li><b>Shed</b></li></ul><p> <br/><i>The information provided about this property does not constitute or form part of an offer or contract, nor may it be regarded as representations.
