THE PROPERTY

Bigbury Oast, a quintessential Kentish building and dating we believe around 1906, is a delightful family home which has been converted to provide light and spacious accommodation in an elevated position, with spectacular far reaching countryside views towards Canterbury city. An attractive entrance porch opens to the generous size hall leading to the principal ground floor rooms, with quarry tile flooring. The welcoming kitchen/breakfast room is well equipped with a range of base and wall mounted units, Aga range cooker and island with breakfast bar and useful utility and store rooms. From the kitchen you enter into the garden room with French doors opening onto the delightful garden as well as doors through to the inviting double aspect sitting room with fireplace. Additionally on the ground floor is the study and cloakroom. On the first floor, leading from the spacious landing with attractive full height windows and wood flooring, are three good size bedrooms, one currently being used as a reception room, family bathroom and master bedroom positioned within the square kiln along with a well fitted bathroom above. Accessed via a separate staircase at the top of the property is a generous flexible space used as a further bedroom with built-in cupboards and en suite bathroom.
