The Old Rectory is a handsome Grade II listed Georgian house on Aldon Lane in Offham, near West Malling. Set close to the foot of the North Downs, the property is surrounded by the rolling countryside of the Tonbridge and Malling district.
The house has been extensively refurbished by the current owners, with high-quality materials and exceptional workmanship evident throughout.
Dating from 1722, the original house was home to the vicars of Offham and Hamsey until the late 1930s. Extensions and additions were made around 1805 and again circa 1835, resulting in a substantial country house with beautifully proportioned rooms and a wealth of historic character.
The main house extends to 5,387 sq ft, with additional accommodation comprising a self-contained annexe of 443 sq ft, a greenhouse of 173 sq ft, a tea house of 80 sq ft, a double garage of 536 sq ft and a summer house of 125 sq ft. In total, the property spans approximately 6,744 sq ft and stands in just under 10 acres of private grounds.
On the ground floor are a reception room, music room, dining room, kitchen and breakfast room, library, two utility rooms and two WCs. A self-contained annexe has its own reception room, bedroom, kitchen and bathroom. There is also a storeroom, bin store and access to two large cellars.
The substantial principal bedroom suite is set on the first floor and has two large dressing rooms and an ensuite bathroom. Two further generous bedrooms, an additional dressing room and a family bathroom are also found on this floor. Two more bedrooms lie on the second floor.
Formal and informal gardens surround the house, giving way to orchards, including a nut orchard, as well as a paddock, meadow and fields.
Approached through a Kentish ragstone gateway and along a sweeping gravel drive, The Old Rectory has a classic Georgian façade and an impressive sense of arrival. Its historic architecture, generous accommodation and extensive grounds make it a particularly rare country home.
Offham is a pretty Kentish village close to the foot of the North Downs, surrounded by rolling countryside, orchards and farmland. West Malling is nearby, with its independent shops, cafés and restaurants, while Sevenoaks, Tonbridge and Maidstone are also within easy reach. The area has a good selection of well-regarded schools, including Tonbridge School, Sevenoaks School and King’s Rochester. Rail services from West Malling run to London Victoria, while the M20 and M26 provide convenient connections to London, the wider Kent countryside and the coast.
