Tail-wagging country walks lead from the doorstep of this contemporary farm dwelling. Alongside generous open-plan spaces and four peaceful bedrooms, it features an enclosed garden where your four-pawed pals can play. Arrange a farm tour, visit nearby village inns and sniff out the surrounding Kent Downs… laid-back leisure time is assured here.
One of three buildings arranged around a U-shaped courtyard, this former lambing shed has been cleverly converted into a high-end holiday pad. Drop your outdoors gear into the hallway then head into the open-plan social space, where comfortable seating and a Smart TV are arranged by patio doors onto the garden. Leave the dogs dozing here while you prepare a tasty home-cooked dinner; conveniently close-by, the dining suite complements the bar-style seating at one counter-top. As eyelids start to droop, settle the dogs in their beds then head back through the hallway to find four sanctuary-like bedrooms, one with a refreshing en-suite shower room. Choose between two king-size rooms – one with a Smart TV – and two super-king-size zip-and-link bedrooms which can be made up as twins on request. An elegant bathroom with a spa-style corner bath and a separate walk-in shower complete the convenience for all. Step into the fully enclosed rear garden and the dogs can let off steam while you fire up the BBQ. Beautiful views to the south will whet your appetite for an after-dinner stroll.
Ample private parking allows you to unpack and explore at leisurely pace. Arrange to meet the resident cattle, or sniff out a network of footpaths from the front door – the nearest pub is just a mile away. Discover other picturesque villages within the Kent Downs National Landscape – Lenham and Charing are both within 4 miles – or enjoy a walk in the dog-friendly grounds of Leeds Castle (9 miles). Choose Whitstable (16 miles) for a coastal stroll – the beach is shingle and west-facing, so it’s especially lovely at sunset.
