Springfield Oast - piece of Kent history

Large historic building (1865), unique to the Kent region. Springfield Oast has two double bedrooms and two bathrooms. There's an impressive vaulted ceiling and beams. It sits independently within our home’s huge garden & has views of trees and fields. Guests have their own private courtyard and can also enjoy the peace of our garden. Perfectly located for Kent's historic castles and gardens. London & beaches are within an hour. Beautiful country walks. Maintained and cleaned to a high standard. The space The oast house is upside down in layout so that the living room benefits from all the height of the vaulted roof and views across fields. The white tip on top turns in the wind. The dine-in kitchen is spacious and enjoys a Juliette balcony overlooking our garden with its peaceful willow trees. Seating areas, study area and second dining area within the living room. On the middle floor is a twin room that can instead be made up as a 6' wide super king if you prefer (let me know when booking). This has ensuite toilet and basin. In addition there is a shower room (with basin and WC) on the ground floor for users of this room. On the ground floor is the master bedroom with kingsize (Queen) bed and an ensuite bathroom (bath with shower over, WC, basin). Leading from this bedroom is a secluded and sunny courtyard just for guests. In addition guests are welcome to use our massive garden and we have garden games you can borrow. Springfield Oast has a number of different floor levels, which is part of its original agricultural design, so guests need to be confident on stairs. The stairs were installed in 2017 so are not particularly steep. We are happy to welcome children of any age so long as you can cope with unfenced stairs! We can supply cot, high chair, potty, baby bath. I can put stair gates up in the living room, request at time of booking, which means in this room you have peace of mind but bear in mind there will be ungated stairs elsewhere (e.g. leading up from the kitchen, two steps in the master bedroom). Parents please note that Springfield Oast is next to our outdoor pool; this is fenced (waist height) with locked gates. The pool is for our family's use. To respect your privacy we will not use it when you are in the oast house. Guest access Springfield Oast is detached and has its own private courtyard garden. Guest access is through our garden which guests are welcome to make use of. The garden is nearly 2 acres so there is plenty of room. Guests can park up to 2 cars on our driveway, again there is plenty of space.
