DESCRIPTION The historic Oakhill Brewery was founded in 1767, and the site remained in use as a brewery until it finally closed in 1997. This sensitive redevelopment of the existing buildings breathes new life into the site, providing 25 beautiful new homes located in the very heart of Oakhill village. Excellent communal facilities include a private gym, swimming pool and landscaped communal gardens for the residents' enjoyment. Most of the properties have been appropriately named after brewing terms.
'Honeymead' - Honey mead is an alcoholic beverage created by fermenting honey with water. Hops act as a preservative and produce a bitter, beer like flavour.
Honeymead is a bright and spacious, third floor, two/three bedroom apartment. Upon entering the property, from the communal staircase is a spacious entrance hall leading to the open plan kitchen / dining / sitting room. This bright and spacious room has a large glazed area with a door leading out onto the balcony with glass barrier and view over the internal courtyard. The kitchen area is well equipped with a range of white and light wood effect gloss cupboards, grey brick effect tiling to splashback areas and integrated appliances including a Belling electric oven, ceramic hob, extractor fan, fridge, freezer and dishwasher. A laundry cupboard with plumbing for a washing machine can be accessed directly off the hallway. There is a master bedroom with a built-in wardrobe and en-suite shower room, a further double bedroom again with a built-in wardrobe, a family bathroom with 'P' shaped bath and overhead 'waterfall' shower and a single bedroom / study with cupboard housing the 'Worcester' boiler. The property also benefits from a door entry system and oak doors throughout.
