Kingshill Farmhouse is a six bedroomed 17th century farmhouse. Lovingly restored in 2019, it balances centuries of history with thoughtful contemporary design. Francesca Rowan Plowden, the interior designer behind the renovation project (you may also know her from her appearance on 'The Traitors UK!'), sought to source second-hand materials where possible - resulting in an eclectic blend of original fireplaces, hallways and exposed brickwork, with handcrafted furniture and reclaimed pieces, rich fabrics, and colours inspired by the Elmley skies. Located at the heart of a 3,300 acre private estate and nature reserve on the Isle of Sheppey with a secret private beach. The property’s interiors are truly beautiful following an extensive renovation and which offers the experience of a luxurious private home.  Kingshill is truly about staying in style and complete comfort, whilst feeling at home and with nature. All rooms are sumptuous and provide everything you could need with amazing views.

The incredible kitchen and breakfast room has plenty of space for a family. Featuring a dream kitchen and stunning views of the Reserve through huge glass doors. The ground floor has a drawing room for evenings to dress up for, a library with games for relaxed afternoons and a third snug area for late night whiskies around the fire. The beautiful gardens have plenty of space to play, sit in the sun and eat alfresco. There is also a large fire pit for evenings outside. And of course you have access to the 3,300 acre wild of Nature Reserve and there is a secret beach located on the estate, which is open in the summer months. There’s space for four cars immediately outside the villa, and a nearby car park on the estate for additional cars.

Stays at elmley are rooted in conservation and immersion in nature. There are miles of walking trails to explore, but guests need not even venture from the house to spot exciting wildlife and feel truly connected to nature - floor to ceiling windows showcase panoramic reserve views abundant with wildlife, from curious hares often coming right up to the house, to marsh harriers and barn owls swooping above the reserve and between the oak trees less than 300m from the edge of the garden, to butterflies and bumblebees in the wrap-around wildflower garden beds.
