Dating from 1837, Kenfield Oast is a magnificent Grade II listed home with three striking roundels and full of wonderful features and character. Comprising almost 4,000 square feet of accommodation, the property sits within delightful gardens in a peaceful and picturesque Kent countryside setting.

The main range of the house connects with the stunning spaces withing the roundels, creating a very comfortable family home. The reception rooms include a well-proportioned sitting room with a fireplace, while the roundels provide further reception space including a useful study and a charming drawing room, as well as a formal dining room with a dramatic vaulted ceiling.

The welcoming kitchen provides the heart of the house with traditional wooden cabinetry and mellow herringbone brick flooring arranged around an Aga. The adjoining utility room, pantry and boot room provide the excellent, practical spaces so essential in a country house.

Upstairs there are five well-proportioned bedrooms, two of which are located in the roundels, and include a generous principal suite with built-in wardrobes and an en suite bathroom. The remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom and family shower room. Stairs continue from the first-floor landing to a useful loft.

This property has 6 acres of land.

The property is set within delightful gardens and grounds of about six acres. At the entrance, the gravel driveway leads to the house and provides plenty of parking, as well as access to the garaging block.

The gardens to both the front and rear include beautiful lawns, an array of mature trees, established hedgerows and colourful flowering perennials. There is also a large terrace for al fresco dining, as well as a discreetly located swimming pool and tennis court set on rising ground with beautiful views. Beyond the gardens there is stabling for four horses, with open paddocks.
