About this property
Stunning C15th Hall House, private heated pool set in large gardens, sleeps 10
"Kingpost" is a beautiful 5 bedroomed house in a lovely typically English garden setting with ornamental pond & sweeping drive to the front of the house. At the rear is a raised patio area complete with family seating to enjoy eating "al fresco", lawns leading gently down to a magical playhouse and trampoline for the young at heart and an enclosed outdoor swimming pool to the side.(heated on request for an extra fee) Perfect for a large family gathering or families on holiday, it offers spacious & light accommodation throughout the property.
As with all traditional Wealden Hall houses the rooms on the ground floor tend to lead off one another. You enter the property via the back door into a large, light double aspect kitchen/diner with a mix of original beams and modern Shaker style fully fitted kitchen. Equipped with a double range oven, central island/breakfast bar including a intergrated wine cooler, microwave, coffee machine and an open plan dining area with views overlooking the extensive mature gardens to the front & rear.
Off the kitchen is the family lounge with comfy settees, arm chairs and an Inglenook fireplace with open fire to keep you cosy & warm your toes on colder nights. Please use the fireguards when its lit to prevent sparks landing on the carpet. We keep a selection of books and games in here for just such an occasion.
Pass through one of the many original doors to the main reception hall and front door, off which is the first of the three spacious double bedrooms, boasting a super king bed, wardrobe, bedside tables, desk and chest of drawers with en-suite shower room, leading you back to the main hall and stairs to the first floor.
The under-stairs area has a washing machine for guests to use with an electric airer.
At the top of the stairs is a large twin room to the front and a childs room with extra single bed( plus pull out single) to the right. Both rooms have bedside tables & lamps, chest of drawers and a double shared hanging space. With views over the gardens to enjoy.
Along the light, airy landing is the second large double bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe and comfy armchair if you like to relax & read, bedside tables and chest of drawers. Down two steps to the family bathroom which has a free standing claw foot bath and walk-in shower, next to a separate toilet and hand basin. Off to the right is the 3rd large double bedroom with wardrobe, chest of drawers, bedside tables, lamps and comfy chair.
Each one is a room with a view looking out over the gardens, as individual as the property itself.
Baby travel cot and high chair is available on request.
We ask that you act responsibly when in and around the pool, lock the gate if not in use to prevent little children wandering in. Plastic glasses & table ware are provided for out door food and drinks, DO NOT take glass into the pool area please.
There are many local eateries in the village which offer great family service and fantatsic food. The Bull is right on the doorstep and is recommended for it's Sunday lunches.
Tour the wide Kent countryside and visit many famous attractions, Sissinghurst Castle and White Garden and enjoy a lovely tea in the beautiful surroundings. Or head for the coast and try the locally caught Fish n Chips, visit one of the many vineyards to sample their award winning wines and any of the many National Trust properties near by. Take the children to see the historic port of Hastings and on to Senlac Hill, Battle where the famous battle really did take place.

About the host
Hosted by Martha Finlay
We started off offering bed and breakfast at our home, Kingpost, 5 years ago which has developed into renting out our family home for other guests to enjoy.
This has been very successful over the past 3 years, with many 5 star reviews, and we aim to provide continued holiday letting to a high standard for the coming years.

What makes this property unique
Your own pool to cool off in or to start your day with a refreshing swim, completely enclosed for privacy. Can be heated on request at an extra charge. Secluded rear garden for the children to play safely.
This house is a beautiful Wealden Hall house indicative to Kent and so named after the wood used to build them from the Weald of Kent. Dating from 1495, "Kingpost" is one of the best examples of a Wealden Hall house remaining in the UK. During the Great Plague the whole of the "Stryte" in Rolvenden was burnt to the ground and amazingly two properties survived, Forge Cottage and "Kingpost". There is still a friendly dispute as to which is the oldest.
Ideally situated in the heart of the county for easy access to the many major tourist attractions it has to offer you, Canterbury, Sissinghurst and Tunbridge Wells.
