Plan an escape to this secluded, light-filled cottage with calming contemporary interiors and country views as far as the eye can see. Hawkhurst is 1.5 miles away, offering a colonnade of independent shops, a cinema, and gastropubs serving Kentish wines and beers. Locally, there are ancient castles and historic houses to be explored: Bodiam (4.5 miles), Scotney (6 miles), and Sissinghurst (8.5 miles). Plus, there are famous gardens to visit, including Great Dixter (9 miles) and Pashley Manor (3.5 miles). Take a day trip to historic Rye (17 miles) and Camber Sands (20 miles) and the Wealden town of Tenterden (12 miles), home to the Kent and East Sussex Steam Railway. The property is also 3.5 miles from a railway station at Etchingham , from which you can buy tickets to Hastings, Canterbury, Tunbridge Wells and London.
Inside the property, an airy open-plan living space accommodates kitchen, lounge, and dining areas, with floor-to-ceiling bi-fold doors bringing the outdoors — and those wonderful views — in. The seating, including chairs at the dining table, is plush, in neutral hues, for a restful ambience. This room also has a daybed available for a child and sleek kitchen units. Passing through the hallway, you’ll find the washer/dryer concealed in a cupboard. Next is the twin zip-and-link bedroom (can be arranged as a king-size on request) with anti-allergy duvets and pillows. This has a Jack and Jill entrance to the en-suite (access from bedroom and hallway), with a roomy walk-in shower featuring a rainfall head and hand-held attachment, and a WC.
Bi-fold doors the width of the lounge open onto the paved terrace, furnished with an outside table and chairs and loungers, and edged with hedging. Beyond this, a grass slope leads down to a rail and post fence, with steps from the terrace to a side gate.
