Parsonage Farm Oast, Nine Ash Lane, Boughton-under-blean, ME13

A substantial five bedroomed oast house offering over 2800 sq.ft of charming accommodation. The property is situated in a rural location, in the village of Boughton overlooking farmland and countryside just a few miles from the market town of Faversham. Parsonage Farm Oast dates back to the 1800's and was converted into three separate oast houses in the 1980's, it has retained many original features, such as rich exposed beams, vaulted ceilings and latch key doors.

The current owners have made numerous improvements in recent years, including the installation of Acoya double glazed windows, two beautifully appointed bathrooms, oak flooring, and an impressive Stovax wood burning stove.

The exterior fa?ade is striking, with dark framed windows which match the handsome front door and complement the brick work. The door opens into an entrance lobby with a modern cloakroom and a bespoke panelled coat and shoe closet. A latch key door then leads one into a entrance hall which extends into the open plan living areas.

To the left there is a kitchen/breakfast room with exposed beams. This has been fitted with a breakfast bar/island and a range of kitchen units, all of which are set around striking glass work surfaces and a natural slate floor. The kitchen is complemented by a pantry and a useful utility room where one will find the boiler, water softener and room for laundry appliances. The dining area has a large table which is positioned adjacent to the French doors that lead onto the alfresco dining area. The downstairs space is enhanced by a delightful dual aspect sitting room which has rich oak flooring and an impressive contemporary Stovax wood burning stove.

The stairs rise to the first floor where one will find a large landing with storage cupboards and a linen room. The main bedroom has ample clothes storage and floor to ceiling windows looking out to the west side of the garden. The main bathroom has been divided to create two luxury bathrooms, one of which is an ensuite to the main bedroom and offers a striking lava stone sink and walk in rainfall shower. The other two bedrooms are generously proportioned and share the main family bathroom, which has been fitted with a Tikamoon double vanity sink unit, shower over bath and finished with stylish metro tiles.

Whilst to the second floor, there is two double bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom complete with jacuzzi bath. The largest room is set within the kiln, with a magnificent, vaulted ceiling. This is currently used as a home office but could easily become living accommodation for an au pair or family relative needing peace away from the rest of the house.

OUTSIDE:

The grounds wrap around three sides of the property and have been beautifully landscaped to make the most of the sunshine at different times of the day. Mature trees create delicate shade for where the children would play, whilst the raised decking offers an area for relaxing and dining. To the north side of the property the current owners have recently installed an aluminium pergola, which complements the dark framed windows and finishes the outdoor kitchen and dining area. The driveway leads to ample parking and a vaulted double garage, which has first floor storage that could easily be converted into a home office. The garden is illuminated by subtle lighting as well as additional security lighting set around the driveway and garage.

The hot tub and pergola could be negotiated with the sale.
