It is situated in an elevated position with views of the village. Canterbury, with its majestic cathedral and rich history, is 10 miles away, while the vibrant town of Folkestone is just under 8 miles away. Spend an afternoon strolling through the Creative Quarter, filled with art galleries, and studios. Closer to home, you’ll want to spend some time at Stelling Minnis Windmill and Museum (3.5 miles), with its historic windmill. History enthusiasts will be enthralled by the opportunity to visit the Kent Battle of Britain Museum, just under 5 miles away in Hawkinge. On sunny days, enjoy relaxing strolls along the sand and shingle at Hythe Beach (8 miles). Elham Valley is a designated area of outstanding beauty, and you will find a multitude of walks available nearby.
Entering through the secluded private courtyard, with its outdoor dining space, you will find a thoughtfully designed cottage and notice the attention to detail and stylish choice of interiors filled with contemporary art pieces. The light filled, double aspect, open plan living room with wood burning stove and smart TV is the perfect place to convene at the end of the day. The dining area, with its vaulted ceiling, is situated to maximise views over the secluded garden. There is a well-appointed, kitchen that has everything you will need to prepare meals for your group. You’ll also find a second separate, stylish living room with rural views. Settle down on the sofa with a chilled glass of wine and a good book. There are two well designed bedrooms; the spacious king-size bedroom features an enticing palette of colours and patterns and the added advantage of an en-suite shower room. The charming double bedroom, with its pallet of blues, offers rural views to the church and is a welcome spot to rest tired eyes after a busy day exploring. The decadent family bathroom features a large, walk-in shower and accent lighting. At the end of the day, draw a bubble bath and relax in the sumptuous roll-top, claw-foot tub before retiring to your bedroom.
The property benefits from a pretty, enclosed, secluded, private garden with patio seating both front and rear to make the most of the sunshine. There is private parking available for two cars.
