About the home

This is a “Fairy Tale” house with private jacuzzi, set in the extensive grounds of a Tudor Manor House.
It consists of two large (17ft diameter) round towers, which were originally used for drying hops for beer making during the late 19th century. However, hop growing did not prosper in East Sussex as it did in Kent, and the buildings became used only as barns.

A large extra barn was added to store grain in the early 1900’s. When my grandfather bought the whole property in 1908 he decided that the oasts would make an ideal dower house for his widowed mother, and it was converted to a house in 1911. The two towers were divided in halves, providing two large circular upstairs bedrooms, and two large downstairs reception rooms. The added “barn area” now forms an attractive double bedroom upstairs, with bathroom and another small bedroom and separate w.c. Downstairs a really delightful kitchen. Also downstairs is a shower room and cloakroom with w.c. and washbasin.

The house is up a driveway of about 350 yards, which makes it very peaceful and safe for children. Visitors have the use of part of the grounds including a large lawn area at the back. They also have shared use of the hard macadam style tennis court and exotic swimming pool. For dog owners there is a problem as the farmer’s horses graze almost up to the windows! There is a fence of course, but it not actually possible to enclose the whole Oast House garden. It is important therefore that dogs be kept on leads when not in the house. Fresh vegetables and our own free-range eggs are usually available from the gardener - Roger.

SPA BATH (JACUZZI)
IN A CABIN IN THE OAST HOUSE GARDEN
“State of the art” Arctic spa bath seats 4 to 6 people. The temperature is constantly maintained at 35C so it’s always ready to use. This spa is solely for the use of visitors to the Oast House.

THE ACCOMMODATION

GROUND FLOOR:
Quite large entrance hall, with coat cupboard, with long mirror inside. Brick floor. Staircase somewhat dominated by a life-size portrait of my mother painted in 1917 and hung there ever since!

Circular dining room (17’ diameter) with light parquet floor, yellow velvet curtains and unusual furniture:- Two curved tables fitting the rounds, and a circular table in the centre (16 to 20 people can be seated at these tables), chairs of course complete the scene.There is also a settee that opens into a 4ft double bed.

There is a comfortable inflatable double bed that can be moved and used as required.

Kitchen (16’ by 16’) A delightful “country style” kitchen, with green tiled floor and light oak fitted units either side. At one end stands a stripped pine dresser, which displays the china you use and in the centre is a magnificent light oak table that can seat 12. There are five windows (one in front of the sink) that give you a constant view of the green outdoors. On the practical side there is a double oven electric cooker, fridge freezer, washing machine, tumble dryer, dishwasher, microwave filter coffee machine and iron and ironing board. There is ample kitchen equipment for 12 people. Outside the back door is a large built-in barbecue.

There is a ground floor shower room, with good mixer shower and wash basin. There is also a separate cloakroom with toilet and wash basin.
