Description
The Slade Oast forms a truly wonderful character home, there is charm and character in abundance, plus an unusual 'Bottle Oast' believed to date from circa 1870 and a further Square Kiln Oast from the early 1900's. The Oast was a working Oast until its conversion in the 1970s, and one can still find the little details depicting its agricultural past, such as the external steps and original slatted/louvred windows into the first floor 'barn' area that currently forms the play room/family room. The cowls were overhauled in circa 2011 and work beautifully, plus the current owners installed 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. There is also evidence in the Sitting Room ceiling of the opening where the hops were processed between the floor levels. The unique layout of the Oast is affirmed by each bedroom being flowing from the vaulted 'barn' section of the first floor. The master bedroom suite is accessed via its own set of wooden stairs (salvaged from the original working Oast) with a sun balcony and a charming mezzanine en-suite above, accessed via a private set of stairs from within the bedroom. The guest bedroom in the top of the roundel is also accessed via a set of stairs from the 'Barn' area. The beautifully modernised family bathroom is accessed via a galleried walkway above the kitchen, and there is a separate mezzanine gallery above the 'barn' which forms a reading area/study. The middle roundel bedroom is accessed from the half landing, whilst the fourth bedroom is accessed directly from the 'barn'. The ground floor has a central reception hall, which leads to a number of rooms, including the roundel dining room, sitting room, porch, 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. 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 stunning Glass room was added in 2010 and 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.The sitting room is a traditional room, with modern 'Inglenook' fireplace and wood burner. There is a window to the front and side, plus an internal window to the reception hall and a door way to the ground floor study. The studio room/bedroom five leads off the reception hall. There is also a ground floor bathroom. Outside, the house is approached over a gravel driveway which leads to a private parking and turning area, with a large detached garage and some stables/workshops/store rooms. Double gates provide access to the easily maintained, mature gardens stretching around the house with open areas of lawn. Mature trees shelter a delightful Children's tree house amongst the flower beds. There is a fenced orchard area and pond to the front. By the side of the glass room is a further sheltered paved patio with uplighters and an additional paved seating area to one side. To the rear of the property there is a paddock, formerly an area where hops were grown, that backs on to the ancient woodland that surrounds the house. 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.
Location
The Slade Oast can be found within the Lamberhurst Down area, within striking distance of footpaths to Bewl (beyond those of the ancient woodland beyond the Southern boundary) and also footpaths that lead to the nearest pub and on to the main village High Street. Nearby amenities within Lamberhurst include several pubs, an extensive local village store with Post Office, a primary school, doctor's surgery/pharmacy, Bewl Reservoir and the renowned Lamberhurst Golf Club. Lamberhurst sits in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and offers a number of local clubs and societies. There is a large recreation ground for football, games and dog walking plus an excellent children's adventure playground. The property is approximately 1 mile away from the A21 for ease of access North and South, although there are better routes into Tunbridge Wells via Bayham and Bells Yew Green. Wadhurst is merely 3 miles distant with a further array of shops, services and amenities. There are many choices to be made from Period Inns, Gastro Pubs, Restaurants, Cafés, an Art Gallery and many other Societies and Clubs.
