Oast house with seven bedrooms

For those seeking a wonderful family home offering character, space and tranquillity, away from the bustle of the modern world, this fabulous converted oast could be the perfect place.

Now for sale through Fine & Country at a guide price of £1,299,950, the seven bedroom/four bathroom/three reception room residence occupies a rural idyll down a long country track a couple of miles outside the village of Dallington, which is just a short drive from the town of Heathfield.

The oast is one of just six properties in an enclave that few know exists. Reached through natural woodland and bluebell woods, this hidden community has historic connections dating back to the iron industry that dominated the area centuries ago.
