The Oast Cottage, dating back to 1780, is set in a tranquil former farm estate within walking distance of the village of Offham, with its highly-rated Primary School. Offham is a popular village with its tennis and cricket clubs, public house, church and regular events on the village green. The property is a traditional brick built Grade II listed former hop store, which has been sympathetically modernised and offers 3 bedrooms, 3 reception rooms, a large studio and secluded garden. The property is set within rural Kentish fruit orchards, but is within 2 miles of the M20/M26 motorway network and mainline stations to London and is equidistant to four Grammar schools in Maidstone and independent schools in Sevenoaks. The property has not been on the market since the estate was originally auctioned in 1964, having passed through 3 owners via word of mouth in the intervening years.
