18 Hildenbrook Farm, Hildenborough, TN11

This beautiful, converted, attached oast house comes to the market for the first time in almost 20 years, and is a truly rare and unique property. Situated in the popular Hildenbrook Farm, a collection of converted period properties, newly built houses and apartments, it has a wonderful position, being set to the edge of the development, adjacent to the communal meadowland that all of the residents can enjoy. This beautiful space of c. 7 acres, is laid to meadow grass, flanked by mature trees and with pathways cut to allow easy use, it in turn accesses miles of countryside walks.

The house itself is beautifully presented, and in keeping with its period feel. The current owners added a fabulous rear extension, fitted with an entire wall of bifold doors which overlook and access the rear garden and countryside beyond. This room has been successfully arranged to incorporate casual seating to one end, and a dining table to the other, conveniently located adjacent to the kitchen and which can be separated via double glazed doors. The kitchen itself has a range of cream shaker style cupboards and an island, all topped with black granite worktops. A 3 oven AGA and butlers sink, continue the country charm, and a larder cupboard provides excellent additional storage. Quality integrated appliances of a fridge / freezer, microwave and dishwasher are all included within the sale.

Also on this floor and accessed from the entrance hall, is a further reception room, situated in the roundel so having a very cosy feel. There is also a WC and various storage cupboards, one of which is very generous and so is used by the current owners as a study. Stairs up lead to the 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, one of which is fitted with a freestanding bath, and one with a generous shower cubicle. All again are beautifully presented and have fitted carpets.

Every room is light and bright, with a wonderful aspect over either the adjoining countryside or the communal grounds of the development, giving this house a very special feel. The rear garden is a further delight, being generous and landscaped in a cottage-style. A large terrace flanks the rear of the house, which leads to a large lawn, flanked with bedding and mature shrubs. There is an attractive brick-built building at the foot of the garden, well insulated and fitted with power, so which could easily serve as a home office, studio or teenage den. An iron gate to the side of the house provides convenient access to the meadow land.

The original Oast House was built around 1906. It was designed by architects Bertram Clough William-Ellis whom later became Sir, and James Scott in 1904. The present Oast House was rebuilt in 2001 using the original plans.

There is a car port in the main parking area of the development, set just a few steps away from the house, which has private parking for 2 cars.
