Converted in the 1980s to an award-winning design by Lee Evans Architects, Nouds Oast takes advantage of its views towards the Swale estuary by having its kitchen and some reception rooms on the first floor, with direct access to a south-facing terrace.
Two former kilns are now the reception room and library and three of the four bedrooms are on the ground floor, except the cornerless master, with its dressing room and en-suite bathroom, which is up on the second floor.
A connected annexe contains two further bedrooms, sitting room, kitchen and bathroom.
Outside, circular planting mirrors the oast and there’s plenty of colour, plus a tennis court, kitchen garden, garage, workshop and car port.
Nouds Oast is currently on the market via Strutt & Parker with a guide price of £1.75 million — see more pictures, or enquire with the agent for further details.
