The Oast is a typical traditional Kentish oast house that was originally built to dry hops for the making of beer. It has now been restored and converted into a comfortable home and is situated in the centre of the historic village of Newenden, opposite the village green, where cricket has been played since 1301, close to the church with its 12th-century font and within very easy walking distance of the 17th-century pub, it's next door. The White Hart Inn, offers local beers and wines, as well as excellent home-cooked food at reasonable prices
Whilst The Oast is in the centre of this historic village, it is situated in a very relaxing location with far-reaching south-westerly views down the Rother Valley. There is plenty of outdoor space at The Oast, a sheltered, but sunny terrace, with patio furniture and charcoal bar-be-que, a large garden and a one-acre paddock which is ideal for children to run around in total safety. There is also another patio, by the stream, with a table which can seat four, alongside this table is a barbeque and a small shepherd’s hut with a table and chairs which will seat six.
The Oast, which is a listed building, was converted in 1995 to a very high standard and retains many of its original period features, including the hop press which is situated at the top of the stairs. Whilst this is an old building, the house benefits from modern insulation as well as an excellent central heating system. There is also a high-speed wireless broadband system for those who like to keep in touch. The mobile phone reception also is very good in this rural location, as there is a 4G mast about a mile away.
Within walking distance, there are various places to eat. The White Hart Inn, Nibbles Café, The Lime Wharf Café and Newenden Kebab take away. There is also an excellent Indian restaurant about half a mile away and a take away fish and chip shop about a mile to the south in Northiam, the next village.
The Oast is well-designed for a superb family holiday. The roundel drawing room with two three seater sofas and two occasional chairs, SMART TV, DVD player and hifi, is an excellent peaceful space, with far reaching views down The Rother Valley. The adjoining sitting room with a log-burning stove (logs provided FOC) is a very cosy area, especially during winter evenings. There is also a SMART TV in this room.
The traditional country kitchen, with range cooker, is a great space and the adjacent dining room with its beamed ceiling, mixes contemporary design with this historic building's features. On the ground floor is also a cloakroom with shower WC and hand wash basin.
On the ground floor is a fourth bedroom with twin beds. These twin beds can be made up into a double bed if required. If this bedroom is not required for your stay, a discount will be applied. There is a downstairs bathroom with shower; wash basin and WC close by to this bedroom.
Upstairs, passing the old hop press on the stairs, there are three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The round master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom with bath, shower, hand wash basin and WC. All the bedrooms have LCD TVs with Freeview, the master suite has a king size French antique bed, the second bedroom a standard double bed and the third bedroom can be configured to offer twin beds or a double bed. The family bathroom has a large walk-in shower; this bathroom does not have a bath, just a shower, hand wash basin and WC.

In the Area
Newenden is right on the Kent and East Sussex border and situated seven miles to the west of Tenterden, seven miles north of Rye and twelve miles east of Battle. The Channel Tunnel is only forty five minutes by road and the spa town of Tunbridge Wells is also a short drive away, about forty minutes. The seaside towns of Hastings Eastbourne, Brighton and Camber Sands are also easy journeys and are excellent day trips. Within the village you can hire rowing boats, canoes and paddle boards from March - October. There are many walks, bike rides and local areas and walks where you are able to exercise your dog, or dogs, off the lead. You have the options of five local eateries within walking distance, including - a pub, two cafes, an Indian restaurant and a takeaway kebab house. All of which offer take away service. There is a fish and chip shop in the next village about a mile away.
Newenden is Kent's smallest village. The two way narrow road through the village, which has a 30MPH limit, is about sixty feet away from the twin bedrooms window which is located at the rear of the house. Whilst this road is the A28, it is not classed as a busy road and, due to the very narrow bridge at the southern end of the village; large commercial traffic tends to use other routes. Any traffic noise in this rear bedroom and the rest of the house is minimal, or nonexistent at most times. At night it is very quiet.
