A detached twin roundel oast filled with character and charming features situated close to the popular village of Lamberhurst, with a pleasant garden of just under 1.5 acres and far reaching views across adjoining farmland to the rear.

It is approached through a five bar wooden gate over a gravelled drive with plenty of parking and turning space. Attached to the garage is the annexe/holiday let. The Oast was converted in the 1980’s and significantly extended in the 1990’s to provide generous family accommodation. It is of traditional brick and tile construction with a charming porch to the main entrance. The property has been maintained to a good standard but would benefit from some further updating.
