The Oast, believed to date from the 1870's, was a working Oast until its conversion in the 1970s, and one can still find the little details depicting its agricultural past. The cowls were overhauled in circa 2011 and work beautifully, as can be seen through a glazed roundel window into the ceiling of the second bedroom that enables one to look up the chimney of the Bottle Oast and into the cowl. The ground floor central reception hall, leads to a number of rooms, including the roundel dining room, the sitting room, studio/bedroom five and the kitchen/breakfast room. The kitchen is a good sized room, with partly vaulted ceilings, exposed brickwork, large window overlooking the garden and door to the glass room. The stunning Glass room brings the enjoyment of the garden inside. The large glazed panels flow effortlessly to the sides to open up the room to the garden on a hot day.Behind the kitchen is a prep-kitchen with additional units, sink, larder cupboards and large wooden chopping block and an opening into the utility room, with further units, sink and space for the usual appliances. The sitting room is a traditional room, with 'Inglenook' fireplace and wood burner.

Beyond the garaging and workshops is the paddock. The paddock is fenced and backs onto 'Ancient Woodland'. It is believed that there are historic rights to walk through the ancient woodland via the gate to the rear boundary and that these walks link to footpaths within Whiskett's Wood and on to Bewl Reservoir.Double gates provide access from the parking area to the easily maintained, mature lawned gardens stretching around the house with several mature trees and shrubs and some flower beds. Mature trees shelter a delightful Children's tree house/play area amongst the flower beds and there is a separate fenced orchard area and pond garden to the front of the property. By the side of the glass room is a further sheltered paved patio with uplighters and an additional paved seating area to one side. Behind the garage is a vegetable plot and greenhouse.
