About this property

Nestled on a working farm in the heart of the beautiful Kent countryside, this property is perfect for large family escapes. Enjoy great local walks and cycle trails aplenty before stopping at the local pub for a spot of refreshment. If you fancy venturing further afield, the city of Canterbury is just 5 miles away offering an abundance of shops and cafes for you to experience, or you can simply enjoy exploring the famous cathedral, taking a trip to the Marlow Theatre or a having punt along the River Stour. Children will love a visit to nearby Howletts Wildlife Park (6.5 miles) and Wingham Wildlife Park (10 miles) whilst keen foodies will enjoy sampling one of the many local vineyards in the area including Chartham Vineyard (4.5 miles). The Kent coastline is only a short drive away (13 miles) and is perfect for some traditional seaside fun in one of the pretty towns of Hythe, Sandgate, or Folkestone.

The accommodation is split between the main house and two self-contained apartments in the lodge. Step inside the main house into the welcoming hallway where there is space for leaving shoes and coats before heading through to the large formal dining room which has plenty of room for up to 20 guests and a wood burner for those chilly evenings. From here, head into the well-equipped kitchen/diner which has everything you may need for creating delicious family meals and two perfectly positioned sofas for enjoying a morning coffee overlooking the terrace and garden beyond. The spacious lounge is located just off the kitchen and offers ample comfortable seating arranged around the wood burner and Smart TV. Also located on this floor is a sumptuous cinema room with a sofa bed and more comfy seating. The ground floor is completed by a handy utility room with a washing machine and tumble dryer, as well as a separate cloakroom with WC. Heading up to the first floor, you will find three of the bedrooms on offer. The first is a super-king-size with a Smart TV and an en-suite bathroom. The second bedroom is a king-size with a Smart TV and en-suite shower room, while bedroom three is a king-size zip-and-link that can be made into a twin on request, complete with an additional sofa bed, a Smart TV and an en-suite bathroom. A further set of stairs lead up to the eaves of the property where you will find two double bedrooms that share a Jack and Jill shower room. Located across the driveway is a separate lodge with two self-contained apartments. The ground-floor lodge has a king-size bedroom with a bathroom, and the first-floor lodge offers a king-size bedroom with an en-suite shower room. Both apartments have a kitchen area and a lounge area with comfy seating and a Smart TV.

Heading outside, there is so much to entertain all the family, starting with the outdoor pool, open from April to the end of September. After a relaxing swim, shower in the pool house and play a game of pool or darts while the adults enjoy a drink at the bar. For the energetic members of the family, there is a gym with a treadmill, exercise bike, weights and even a punch bag. An all-weather tennis court with a ball machine is also available. For those desperate to relax, slip into one of the two hot tubs and while away an afternoon in the bubbles. Little ones will enjoy playing all day in the adventure play area with a treehouse, or you can take them on a long walk through the farmland and woods which cover up to 15 acres.
