Full of original features, the beamed ceilings and walls have been brought back to life with striking furniture and exquisitely hand-crafted finishes to create a boutique holiday home for a restful break in the Kent countryside.
The living/dining room features a double sided wood burner, creating the perfect ambience for cosy evenings in, whether you are sitting at the dining table planning the week’s activities with a glass of wine or relaxing on the beautiful sofas that bring a vibrant pop of colour against the rustic wooden walls. The countryside kitchen boasts hand built wooden units, original barn flooring and chunky wooden worktops, with a butchers block island ideal for socialising whilst a hearty meal is being prepared.

Come summer or winter, the covered and spacious outside courtyard features a Kadai firepit, the ideal spot for a warming glass of red/hot chocolate, cooking a BBQ or even a curry for an all year round al fresco dining experience. An additional charcoal barbecue is also available for further relaxation in the sunshine during the summer. For those competitive members of the family, the table tennis will be sure to provide hours of entertainment. This is the perfect place for a special party, and although the property only sleeps 8, the owner is happy to welcome extra guests during the day to celebrate with those who are staying.

STUNNING! STUNNING! STUNNING!
What, an absolutely beautiful Place!
Great communication with the host, very well prepared upon our arrival with a hamper of essentials and some bubbly and beer.
Plenty of games and activities, the table tennis got fair use. Hot tub was a must for our stay and we were able to fit all 8 of us in for a restful end to each day.
The beds were comfy and the whole place is well maintained for a relaxing long weekend, would highly recommend, and cant wait to go back.
