Description
Bear Manor Oast is a substantial detached village house, situated in the heart of the sought after village of Shipbourne, with a delightful position adjoining The Green. This family home is believed to date from the mid-1960s, constructed by wh Colt in the iconic Colt timber frame style, and offers spacious and well-presented accommodation arranged over two floors, together with a detached single roundel oast providing ancillary accommodation and delightful southerly gardens with direct access to the Green, and is well located for local towns, road and rail links.

The dining room and study both enjoy garden views.
The generous kitchen/breakfast/family room benefits from direct access to the garden. The kitchen is fitted with wall and base units and a peninsular island with breakfast bar, all in a modern farmhouse style with an integral single oven and a 2 oven lpg gas Aga. There is also space for a dishwasher and a door leads to a useful pantry cupboard.

The driveway is flanked by areas of lawn and established shrub and flowering borders, together with a greenhouse.
The charming, established gardens are a delightful feature, wrapping around the house and providing a lovely backdrop, carefully planted to provide year round interest. Expanses of lawn are complemented by an abundance of planting, colourful shrubs and herbaceous borders as well as some cob nut trees and a kitchen garden. A south facing terrace adjoins the house, ideal for al fresco entertaining and a gate leads directly on to the village green.
A charming detached single roundel oast house provides ancillary accommodation and comprises an open plan living room with fitted base units with sink, a shower room and a spiral staircase leads to a first floor bedroom.
