The Oast House, Otford, Kent
The Oast House is a beautiful period twin oast and barn in a secluded position in sought after Otford village, Kent.
Believed to date in part from the 19th century, the superb family home has been well maintained throughout and offers versatile accommodation amounting to in excess of 5,200 sq ft across three floors.
The main house is complemented by additional separate ancillary accommodation of more than 1,200 sq ft, offering scope for use as flexible/multi-generational living. The property sits amidst mature, south facing gardens, with idyllic woodland to the rear and streams from the River Darenth meandering through.
A spacious reception hall leads to three interconnecting reception rooms, which provide excellent areas for entertaining, with a southerly aspect and all featuring French doors, giving access to a superb terrace and the gardens beyond. There is a sitting room featuring an impressive brick fireplace with woodburning stove, a dining room and a garden room with porcelain tiled flooring.
Two further reception rooms are in the impressive roundels and comprise a cinema room and a home office/study.
Offering the ideal space for informal dining and everyday living is the substantial kitchen/breakfast/family room. The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of bespoke oak wall and floor cupboards and central island with quartz work surfaces and upstands. There is a comprehensive range of appliances and a charming brick fireplace with wood burning stove, with the utility room providing a further range of fitted units.
The principal bedroom suite has lovely garden views and benefits from a generous dressing area and bathroom with double width feature bath and separate shower cubicle. Four further bedroom suites all have en suite bath/shower facilities and two of the bedrooms are situated in the roundels, featuring staircases leading to mezzanine dressing areas with excellent built in storage.
On the second floor there is an excellent attic store room with windows.
The house is set within grounds of about 4.65 acres, with the ancillary accommodation located to one side of the driveway, with two reception rooms, three bedrooms and a shower room.
A range of oak-framed outbuildings include detached garages, a summerhouse/garden gym and a four bay wood/garden store/workshop. There is also a fence-enclosed, all weather tennis court.
The charming, south-facing gardens afford both privacy and seclusion, including a generous stone terrace and expanses of lawn flanked by an array of deciduous and coniferous trees.
The River Darenth meanders through the bottom of the garden, its banks interspersed by shrubs and a wooded area underplanted with spring bulbs.

For anyone looking for multi-generational living, this is an ideal opportunity, with the main house and the secondary so close by.”
