Haxted Road, Haxted, Surrey

Property Description

An incredible example of a very well-appointed detached Oast house in the picturesque hamlet of Haxted in Surrey. This wonderful home dates back as far as 1838 and really has been a labour of love for our owner who, painstakingly, completely renovated Oast Cottage, turning it into an outstanding unique home nestling in the Surrey countryside. Step over the threshold and into the reception hall, you immediately feel at home with a timber and stained glass wall flooding the living room with light. The ground floor shows off wonderfully the character of this home with exposed beams and wooden flooring adding to the rustic feel throughout. The living room has a beautiful stone fireplace with log burning stove, granite hearth and part panelled walls. The dining space has low level walls, exposed brickwork, wooden floor, beams and gives access to the bespoke kitchen which forms part of the Oast. The kitchen has been very cleverly designed with a range of Shaker style handmade cabinets, to compliment the shape of the Oast, and ample granite work surface. There is plenty of space for an American style fridge freezer, stove cooker, and a large family table, with French doors opening on to a sunny garden. There is a utility room with storage, space for a washing machine and a cloakroom. The master suite occupies the Oast with a spiral staircase to a dressing room with many fitted storage units and panoramic views. There are three further bedrooms, bedroom two with an ensuite and bedroom three with stable door to a roof terrace draped with purple flowering Wisteria and a three-piece family bathroom. The grounds of Oast Cottage are magnificent, with a decked area perfect for enjoying those summer evenings, a really good size lawn with floral borders and a beautiful Weeping Willow tree. The barn has so much scope for development and with minimal cost could be completely enclosed and used as a home office, children’s playroom or separate accommodation (STPP). Currently it is an undercover party/entertaining space with brick chimney and plenty of space for alfresco dining. With a gated private driveway for at least four cars and a substantial detached double garage, with storage, this wonderful property could be your next dream home.
