Hop House

About this property

This fabulous oast house has been carefully and lovingly transformed by the owners, into a magnificent holiday home and is situated in the small hamlet of Oad Street in the heart of rural Kent. Once widespread throughout Kent, these lovely oast houses are now becoming less common, making this the perfect opportunity for groups of friends, families, and couples wanting to celebrate a special birthday or event, walking groups with a passion for the country side or parties who want to enjoy the chance to stay in luxurious and unusual accommodation. Each of the five bedrooms have been decorated and furnished to reflect its own individual style, with all five of them positioned in the roundels giving them the feature curved walls. All boast en-suite facilities, some having baths rather than showers, so if you are someone who enjoys a long, hot soak after a day exploring, then pour in the bath oil, lay back and relax! Two of the bedrooms are on the ground floor and both have full-size wet rooms, so whether young or old, everyone can be accommodated here. Both floors offer full-living accommodation. The first floor, accessed via a splendid staircase, leads to the spacious open plan living area complete with a well-equipped kitchen and dining area seating , perfect for enjoying long, lingering dinners with great company and delicious food and drink. On the ground floor there is a large sitting room with a dining area and separate kitchen, from which guests can access the fully-enclosed garden, a delight from sunrise to sunset. Just outside this luxury home are dozens of country paths to explore, leading over meadows and into woods, so lace up those walking boots and stride out to enjoy Kent at its finest. Only a few minutes drive away is the Kent County Showground at Detling. Here you will find events and exhibitions throughout the year, including the Kent County Show which is held over three days and includes displays of all forms of farming, foods and rural lifestyles. Whatever your pleasures, interests or activities, this superb holiday home can offer a holiday with luxury and style whatever time of year. Hop House is located between Gravesend and Faversham.These two towns have recorded some the highest temperatures in Great Britain in recent years.

Oad Street is a small but thriving hamlet less than a mile from the M2 motorway with links to Maidstone, Canterbury and Rochester, making it a perfect location for visitors wanting to explore Kent. The village itself has two pubs both serving traditional food. Also in this quiet but busy hamlet, is the popular Oad Street Food and Crafts, a centre which combines a restaurant serving delicious meals throughout the day, a store selling locally produced food and drink, plus a gift shop and art gallery. Close by is Sittingbourne, once an industrial town it is now a popular spot for visitors.
