Square Oasts were the earliest buildings for drying hops to flavour beer. Ours is a Grade 2 Listed Building of historical merit with a spiral staircase twirling upwards to the spacious, colourful, upper floor studio flat with a high sloping ceiling, and garden views. The wooden, open-tread galley stairs are quite steep, (please see main photograph), leading up to the mezzanine bedroom area with a great view of the North Downs. Outdoor bistro seating overlooks the neighbouring cherry orchards. The studio flat is a square room with a mezzanine floor above part of the main room. White painted wood panels line the sloping ceilings which rise toward a central skylight. (Eye masks are provided for those who like a darker bedroom.) The oak doors and some of the beams are original, and the galley stairs and railing were custom made, also in oak. The wooden shelving and plank floor are also new along with the fitted kitchen and shower room. A wooden dining table with four chairs, two tub chairs, two director chairs and a coffee table provide seating options. The kitchen area is well equipped with a convection microwave, electirc induction hob, fridge, dishwasher, crockery, cutlery, glasses and plastic ware for outdoor dining. The shower room has a walk in shower, towel rail and a wall unit wash hand basin, with a bathroom cabinet above with sensor lights around the mirror, cupboards and shelves. There is a picnic bench for visitor use beside the spiral staircase for outdoor dining.
Margaret and Gordan are nothing short of lovely, kind, accommodating and welcoming. They made me feel right at home and helped me when I was in a bind. The place itself is spotless and beautiful - you can tell it is well loved and looked after. Everything you need is there. There’s woods in walking distance that are great to walk through and whilst near a road, it’s still quiet and peaceful. Vivian, their co-host is just so wonderful and kind too. She comes once a week to clean and tidy and makes for great company! The balcony is so sweet to sit on in lovely weather too. I can’t recommend this place or the hosts enough. Thank you Margaret, Gordon and Vivian for such a lovely stay!
Absolutely lovely place to stay, very unique and quirky with everything you need to ensure you are comfortable.
Access through the gate is good. Lock box instructions; I entered the 4-digit code, followed by ‘B’ to gain access to the key. It took me a while to figure that out! A very bright and colourful accommodation, absolutely beautiful, with lots of windows. Very private and peaceful. It’s right in the heart of the Kent countryside. Facilities lovely and clean. Kitchen well stocked. Stairs up to the mezzanine bedroom very steep, but a very cosy and comfortable bed.
A nice stay for 5 nights in this lovely studio. It is beautifully done and homely. Perfectly situated for us. It has all the facilities and comforts we needed. Margaret and Gordon were attentive but also gave us privacy.
The Square Oast Studio is on the upper floor of a square oasthouse next to our round oasthouse, called The Roundels. Our property is on the eastern edge of the village of Offham, which has a village green and many buildings of architectural interest. An ancient and unique quintain stands on the village green with a carved stone describing how it was used to practice the skills of jousting. The Kings Arms pub (1650) on one corner of the green serves meals and delicious Sunday roasts.
Spadework at the western end of the village is a charity supporting adults with learning challenges. It has an excellent garden centre, a cafe with home made treats and a shop selling essential items and a range of Kent produce. There are pleasant walks in the woods, by the apple, pear and cherry orchards and strawberry fields around the village. Golfers have a choice of courses at west Malling and Addington.
Turning left out of our garden along Teston Road takes your through the village to a T-junction. where a left turn leads to West Malling, a town with an interesting history, independent shops, pubs and restaurants. Parking is on the main street or behind Tesco supermarket. A right turn at the T-junction goes in the direction of Kings Hill an award winning development with a Little Waitrose, Asda and Aldi supermarkets and a David Lloyd sports centre.
