Set in the peaceful village of Loose, this stunning property is an excellent choice for those wishing to explore the Kent Downs National Landscape and surrounding trails. When you’re not moseying alongside the village’s pretty stream or streets of old cottages, make the short drive to Maidstone (2.5 miles) for a wealth of eclectic shops, high-street favourites and locally produced dishes. Leeds Castle (7 miles) is close by and is the ideal place to enjoy a wander around the grounds and get lost in its hedge maze. Another historic choice is Sissinghurst Castle and Gardens (9 miles). Keen wine enthusiasts will love the proximity to Balfour Winery (5 miles), while those seeking wildlife spotting and breathtaking views will want to spend the day rambling across the enchanting Wye National Nature Reserve (25 miles).

Step inside this magnificent accommodation and into the hallway, where guests can turn left into the lounge/diner. Two cosy sofas and a wood burner provide an evening of total relaxation, while behind sits the table and chairs from which all eight guests can congregate for meals and board games. Discover a snug on the opposite side of the hallway, where you can unwind on the pillowy corner sofas and catch up with your favourite programmes on the Smart TV and enjoy the cosy ambiance of the electric wood burner. The stylish, well-equipped kitchen offers everything a keen chef would need for rustling up dinners for the group; it also boasts an island with bar stools. Completing the ground floor is an office, should you need to catch up on emails, and a WC with a boot room to wash off the pooch after walkies. After a busy day of exploring, you’ll discover four attractive bedrooms on the first floor. The first is a king-size bedroom with an en-suite bath, shower and WC. The second and third are doubles and fourth is a bunk bedroom. This floor is finished off with a contemporary bathroom with a roll-top bath, shower and WC.

Patio doors open from the kitchen and lead into the enclosed garden with a table, chairs and BBQ. It’s a gorgeous spot to sip your morning brew or enjoy al fresco breakfasts. This property benefits from private parking for three cars.
