Property description
A beautifully presented former public house set in sought-after Offam village
Description
A fabulous and highly characterful detached home, offering versatile accommodation and occupying a delightful position in the heart of the sought-after village of Offham. Formerly a public house, this unique property has been sympathetically converted to create an impressive family home that seamlessly blends period charm with modern-day living.
The accommodation is arranged over three floors and is entered via a welcoming central hallway, which provides access to the principal reception areas, a cloakroom, pantry and useful cellar chambers.
At the heart of the home is a spacious kitchen/dining room, fitted with attractive Shaker-style cabinetry and a range cooker, creating an ideal space for everyday family life and entertaining. A characterful reception room, currently utilised as a study, features exposed beams and a period fireplace, while a separate lounge provides an excellent formal sitting room.
To the rear of the property, a lobby incorporates a practical utility/boot room and additional storage. A bright conservatory/orangery extends from the study and leads through to the remarkable Coach House, an impressive vaulted space with dual-aspect windows and a shower room, offering exceptional flexibility as a games room, entertaining space, home office, studio or ancillary accommodation.
The first floor comprises an elegant principal bedroom suite with an en-suite bathroom, fitted wardrobe, feature fireplace and exposed beams. Two further double bedrooms are served by a family bathroom, complete with a roll-top bath and separate shower.
On the second floor are two additional bedrooms, together with a further shared bathroom, providing excellent accommodation for guests, older children or those requiring dedicated home-working space.
Externally, the property benefits from a generous gravelled frontage providing off-road parking for several vehicles. To the rear, a private and secluded garden is beautifully enclosed by mature trees and hedgerows, with a paved terrace perfectly suited to outdoor dining and entertaining.
Combining substantial accommodation, remarkable character features and a highly desirable village setting, Red Lion House presents a rare opportunity to rent an exceptional period home in Kent.
