Belvidere Oast – Distinctive Countryside Residence with Studio & Development Potential

Set behind automated gates and approached via a generous private driveway, Belvidere Oast is an impressive detached Oast house occupying approximately two acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, offering both a charming family home and exciting lifestyle or business opportunities (subject to the necessary planning permissions).

The property provides approximately 2,495 sq ft of versatile accommodation and ample parking for multiple vehicles, in addition to a covered car barn. The welcoming entrance hall creates an immediate sense of character, featuring a double-height ceiling and elegant galleried landing.

At the heart of the home is a well-appointed farmhouse-style kitchen, fitted with solid oak cabinetry, granite worktops and integrated appliances, complemented by a spacious utility room. The sitting room enjoys a wealth of character with exposed brickwork, rustic beams and a wood-burning stove, creating a warm and inviting living space.

The distinctive roundel is currently arranged as a study but offers flexibility as a fourth bedroom, snug or additional reception room.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom benefits from a vaulted ceiling, walk-in wardrobe and ensuite shower room. Two further well-proportioned double bedrooms provide comfortable family or guest accommodation.

The grounds are a particular feature of the property, extending to approximately two acres and offering a delightful blend of landscaped gardens and productive spaces. These include a large entertaining terrace ideal for al fresco dining, Ornamental, fruit and nut trees, established perennial borders, vegetable beds, and an impressive 60ft greenhouse.

Within the grounds is a separate pottery studio with a fire-insulated kiln building, offering excellent potential for artists, craftspeople or creative enterprises. The existing studio building also includes a kitchen and WC, presenting the possibility of conversion into a self-contained annexe, guest accommodation or Airbnb-style holiday let (subject to planning consent).

Given the size of the plot and separate access potential, the land may also lend itself to further lifestyle or commercial uses, such as creative workshops, small business premises, or the installation of holiday lodges or glamping accommodation, all subject to the relevant planning permissions.
