Description

This charming converted oast house, set in an elevated position, offers a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. Nestled within approximately 0.67 acres of established grounds, the property boasts stunning views of the surrounding countryside, providing a tranquil rural backdrop while remaining conveniently located just 4.5 miles from Battle and its mainline station. The original character of the building is evident in its brick and stone elevations beneath a tiled roof. While the property has been well-maintained, there are various areas that would benefit from modern updates, allowing potential owners to personalize the space to their taste. Upon entering, you are greeted by a covered storm porch that leads into an entrance hall featuring solid wood flooring. The spacious sitting room showcases three windows that open up to picturesque garden views and exposed ceiling beams, creating a warm atmosphere around the brick chimney and fireplace fitted with a log burner. The dining room is an inviting triple-aspect area situated within one of the roundels, providing ample natural light. The kitchen retains its distinctive curved design with matching worktops above painted wooden units and is equipped with functional appliances including an electric hob and double oven. A utility room adds convenience with plumbing for laundry appliances and additional storage options. A cloakroom with WC and washbasin completes this practical layout on the ground floor. Upstairs, the principal bedroom occupies one of the original roundels and features beautifully curved walls along with built-in wardrobes leading to an en suite shower room that requires some updating. Bedroom two also resides in a roundel and includes loft access; it presents further renovation potential to enhance its appeal. Bedroom three is a cozy single room overlooking garden vistas. The family bathroom has seen recent improvements but still offers opportunities for additional upgrades. Externally, access to the property is via a shared driveway that leads to a detached garage. With prior planning permission granted for converting this garage as well as for extensions to the house itself (RR/2010/2472/P and RR/2010/1302/P), there’s significant scope for expansion on this already charming home. The outdoor spaces include a split-level terrace ideal for entertaining, as well as lawns offering sweeping views over neighboring fields. Although currently not in use, the swimming pool presents another area ripe for revitalization alongside a timber-built summer house which could serve various future purposes. With its blend of historic charm and modern renovation potential set against a beautiful countryside backdrop, this property invites creative vision while being conveniently positioned near essential amenities.
