Description
Rhoden Oast has been beautifully refurbished over the past 10 years to provide a striking yet comfortable home. For an Oast house it carries a large amount of light to each room with the many windows. It boasts a beautiful oak staircase and gallery landing which graces the hall to welcome you to the many character features this property has to offer. All of the rooms are of generous size and the kitchen/breakfast room is a pure delight with the bespoke kitchen which was featured in a national magazine when fitted. The current owner carefully planned it to exacting detail and, in her opinion, it is now the perfect working kitchen providing in particular a large pantry cupboard. The Oast offers two round kilns with exposed internal brick works, Travertine Italian floors, oak studded internal doors, dual aspect wood stove, new radiators to 'old school house' design, striking slate floor to kitchen/breakfast room. The en-suite and bathroom are of contemporary design yet offering sympathy with the Oast to complement every aspect. Bedroom 3 offers a teenage delight, set in one of the round kilns with a spiral staircase rising to mezzanine floor. Outside, equally the gardens surrounding the property are just a delight and if I say 'Darling Buds of May' spring to mind I feel this depicts the setting beautifully.
