The Oaks, Well Lane, Ospringe, ME13

A striking modern detached residence, individually designed and built to a high standard. The Oaks is set within approx. two and three-quarter acres of magnificent and secluded grounds which include an outstanding array of equestrian facilities, including an all-weather arena, stables, outbuildings, and several paddocks. Situated in the charming village of Ospringe, just outside the market town of Faversham, this property offers a traditional feel, with stunning features such as exposed beams, and a splendid oak staircase that leads to four beautiful bedrooms.

A solid wood front door opens into a delightful entrance hall which has a cloakroom and an area for coats and wellies. The hallway offers access to both the sitting room and the open plan kitchen/breakfast room. To the left of the entrance hall, there is an elegant triple aspect sitting room which has an exposed brick fireplace that encompasses a modern gas stove.

To the right there is a kitchen/breakfast room with a magnificent granite-topped island. The kitchen area has been fitted with an extensive range of wall and floor units, set around rich granite work surfaces, integrated appliances, and a ceramic tiled floor. This room flows beautifully onto a dining room which incorporates a casual seating area next to the wood burning stove and French doors which open onto the east side of the garden.

On the first floor, a central landing leads to four generously proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom. The main bedroom is a superb dual aspect double room with stunning views of the garden and countryside beyond.

OUTSIDE:

The Oaks sits within a generous plot of approx. two and three-quarter acres and the immaculate grounds are a credit to the current owner.

A tree lined driveway runs around the house and leads you to the main front door, a car port and plenty of space for parking. Above the car port there is a converted space which would make a perfect home office and below there is a convenient storage shed.

The gardens surrounding the house are beautifully kept with mature trees and attractive shrubs. There is a newly installed wooden summer house which sits perfectly, making the most of the southerly sunshine. There is a smaller garden that can be seen directly from the kitchen and offers a wonderful area for the children to play.

There is another driveway from Well Lane that would give you direct access to the equestrian facilities which include: ample parking for large vehicles, 42m x 22m Softrack all-weather arena, four paddocks, some with field shelters, three 14ft x 14ft stables, a tack room and feed room.
An additional stable is larger than the other three stables and has a staircase to the roof space which runs across the entire stable block. It has great head height and would provide superb additional storage.

AGENT'S NOTE: There is a restrictive covenant which relates to the stables. Contact Foundation for more information about this.
