Property code: OC-MD435

This pump house conversion, with its stunning vaulted ceilings and fantastic shared leisure amenities, is ideal for a couple, an older family of three, or a trio of friends. Situated almost halfway between the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) (7 miles) and the High Weald AONB (11 miles), it’s an area rich in walking and biking trails. Just 0.5 miles north, the local village of Coxheath has a range of shops. A little further afield you may like to explore Deer Park (3 miles), Mallard Lake (4.5 miles) and the goat sanctuary (4 miles). Learn more about Kent’s heritage at the Maidstone Museum (5 miles) and at Leeds Castle (7.5 miles). Or have a day out at the seaside; Sheerness to the north and Hastings to the south, are both within 30 miles.

Oozing quality throughout, the lounge/kitchen/dining room is furnished with sofas you can sink into. There is also a dining table with seating for four where you can enjoy family meals, and a hall stand for coats and boots. Both this room and the king-size bedroom have limestone floors, soft rugs, TVs and French doors to the patio. A Jack and Jill en-suite shower room with WC can be accessed from both the bedroom and the lounge.

Step out onto your patio, enclosed by fencing and hedges. Here you can tuck into a meal — cooked on the Webber BBQ — at the picnic table, or sip on your morning coffee while taking a seat at the traditional wrought-iron bistro set. Within the grounds, guests have access to the owner’s tennis court, fishing lake and indoor swimming pool housed in a stunning, high-ceiling timber beamed building.

The cottage is very comfortable and has most of the utensils you would need for a weeks stay. The bed is very comfortable and the shower is powerful with plenty of space to wash in.

Lovely clean cottage which was well equipped. Disappointing that the pool, as advertised, was not available for our use. Response from holidaycottages.co.uk: Thank you for your review. We can confirm that we have discussed this with the owner and the issue has now been resolved.
