Originally built in the 16th Century and with covering views of the surrounding valley (and originally with a thatched roof) Kingscot is a charming Grade II listed home with exposed timber framing and slate roof. The house is located in the historic Kent village of Offham which is chronicled in the Domesday book as Ofeham and has records dating back to 832AD when King Aethelwulf gifted the land to Christ Church in Canterbury.
Kingscot sits on the southern ridge line of the village and enjoys views over the surrounding countryside. Sitting in nearly 2 acres of gardens and grounds the house enjoys excellent privacy and a perfect space for children or outdoor entertaining.
The house is set over two floors and entered on the north side alongside an ample parking area. The kitchen (with beamed ceiling and south facing window) and dining room form the basis of the living space on the southwest side of the house whilst a sitting room with a central beamed surround fireplace and door to the garden and adjoining study sit on the eastern side. A music room/additional study then runs off the dining room whilst a guest WC is found alongside the entrance hallway.
The house has two staircases; one from the dining room which leads to a double bedroom (with windows to the south and west sides) and WC above the dining room and the main staircase from the entrance hallway which leads to a current configuration of a double bedroom with WC which leads further to two additional rooms.
Outside the sitting room doors lead to an excellent south facing stone terrace with steps down to the garden and wonderful views. The gardens are mostly set to lawn and the grounds extend to the south and south west of the property. On the northern side sits a double garage with large parking area together with an upper lawned area with various sheds and vegetable areas.
The house is located in the popular and historic Kent village of Offham located 1 1/2 miles from the active market town of West Malling with its train station into London Victoria (55 minutes) and a high street with numerous shops, restaurants and amenities.
The larger towns of Sevenoaks and Maidstone are close at hand with their train links (Sevenoaks into London Bridge (23 minutes) and additional shopping and business offerings. The area is well served with access to the M20 and M25 and with them the airports at Heathrow and Gatwick to the west and the Channel ports to the east.
Offham has its own primary school and the area is surrounded by excellent schools at both primary and secondary level with grammar schools in Maidstone alongside the well renown schools in Sevenoaks and Tonbridge.
