The Oast House, Philpots Lane, Hildenborough, Tonbridge
What: The Oast House is a charming detached Oast house of character and charm, offering well-proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors. A spacious country residence, set within established gardens and grounds approaching 19 acres, under a mile from Hildenborough Station.
The property retains many character features and is situated in a delightful semi-rural spot. There is also some ancillary accommodation in the form of the Cottage, currently offering a kitchen, bathroom, and two former receptions rooms, now utilised as store rooms.
Inside: The primary reception rooms comprise of a spacious drawing room with a feature fireplace and a dining room, both with doors opening to the garden, a family room located in one of the roundels, and a double aspect sitting room also with doors to the garden. The kitchen/breakfast room has an Aga and there's a further kitchen to the eastern wing of the property complete with an integral oven with an electric hob. There are two well-appointed studies, one with a fireplace. Six bedrooms (including a triple aspect principal bedroom suite) and four bathrooms.
Outside: There are landscaped lawns to the front flanked with quintessential rose beds. The formal gardens continue to wrap around the property with a pond with extensive aquatic planting. There is a treelined driveway and stabling, barns and paddocks. There is also a swimming pool with a paved surround and a variety of established deciduous and evergreen trees, shrubs and perennials interspersed throughout. In total the plot amounts to about 18.94 acres.
Why we love it: Exposed wall and ceiling timbers, feature fireplaces, leadlight windows, wooden panelling, parquet and tiled flooring... there's character features and then there's this! And is there anything more quintessentially Kent than an Oast House...?
