For Sale4 Bedroom House in Kilmaney Oast, Marden£1,500,000

What the owners say: We bought this beautiful oast about three years ago as we loved the location and with a idea that it would be our ‘forever’ home and we refurbished and extended it accordingly including purchasing additional land. Unfortunately, circumstances have meant we are not able to stay here so we hope new owners will appreciate that we have done to make the whole place something really special. While we have focused on the house, garden and outdoor leisure facilities there is plenty if scope for another family to renovate the stable block and develop the outbuildings. It would seem from initial discussions that these buildings could be converted into holiday lets but possibly they could also become homes for other family members or offices for anyone who works from home but doesn’t want to be disturbed and needs access for business visitors. While if new owners have horses or other livestock the buildings could be used by grooms or other staff. While the property is in the countryside we are not isolated as the delightful village of Staplehurst is nearby and Marden is not much further. Staplehurst includes a convenience store, a garden centre, pubs and restaurants as well as a primary school, golf, cricket and tennis clubs and nearby is the famous Sissinghurst Gardens. Marden is a thriving village of Marden with a Michelin recommended restaurant and a country gastropub as well as a primary school and the Leigh Academy secondary school, a cricket and hockey club, a junior football team as well as the bowls club and the village club which hosts various activities. Both Staplehurst and Marden have mainline stations with trains to London Bridge taking much less than an hour. Excellent additional education facilities are available in the nearby towns including a variety of first-class grammar and private prep and secondary schools in Cranbrook, Benenden, Maidstone, Royal Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge where you will also find high street stores, independent shops, supermarkets, restaurants, cinemas and theatres.
