2 Bed in Staplehurst (oc-m32773)

Charming and quaint to the core, this red-brick cottage in rural Kent offers a peaceful retreat for couples seeking nature and tranquillity. The cottage is ideally located for exploring 1066 Country, including the historic Bodiam Castle (12 miles). The beautiful village of Frittenden (2 miles) has a local pub hosting live music and festivals and has an Italian pizza van that comes every Sunday evening. Nearby, Lime Wharf Café in Northiam offers scenic outdoor seating and is next to Bodiam Boating Station, where you can kayak or take a boat trip to Rye or around the castle. Also close by is the award-winning Bedgebury Pinetum and Forest (10 miles), perfect for walking or cycling among beautiful gardens, lakes, and woodland trails, with a welcoming café to relax in afterwards. Meanwhile, Maidstone (10 miles), the largest town in Kent, boasts fantastic opportunities for shopping, with an eclectic mix of unique shops and high-street favourites and Royal Tunbridge Wells (18 miles) with museums, galleries, open-air cafes, independent boutiques, restaurants and bars which you can explore along with a range of music and food festivals as well as artisan markets and theatre shows, hosted throughout the year.

The light and bright entrance hallway offers plenty of space to kick off your walking boots and hang up your coat before leading through to the lovely lounge, which features a crackling wood burner and soft, neutral hues that perfectly complement the leafy, green views. The same pastel colour palette as the lounge adorns the spacious kitchen, equipped with everything you need to get creative with your local produce. On a fine evening, open the patio doors to the garden to enjoy the fresh countryside air. The separate farmhouse-style dining room provides ample space to savour your local fare, while the sophisticated family bathroom ensures you kick-start your next adventure feeling refreshed. The king-size and double bedrooms serve as tranquil retreats to unwind in after a day exploring the local trails.

Outside, enjoy dining alfresco on the patio amid the gentle sounds of rustling leaves. Being fully enclosed, the adjoining lawn offers plenty of room for children and dogs to explore freely. Private parking for two cars is available at the cottage.
