This stylish apartment is tucked away in the heart of the Kent countryside, offering the perfect escape from the stresses of everyday life and surrounded by so many beautiful places and gardens to visit.

Situated in a beautiful location in Kent’s Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this delightful apartment offers a peaceful escape from everyday life. Keen walkers will enjoy exploring the many footpaths that criss-cross the stunning Kent countryside. Head into nearby Benenden to pick up fresh produce from the local butchers and village shops, or enjoy a delicious meal at the village pub. For those looking to venture slightly further afield, the stunning gardens of Hole Park (2.5miles), Sissinghurst Castle and Gardens (4.5miles) and Scotney Castle (11.9 miles) are within a short drive, as are two award-winning vineyards that offer some of the finest English wines available. The Kent and East Sussex coastline is also not far away (Rye - 15 miles, Hastings - 19,5 miles) making this the perfect base for exploring this spectacular pocket of the South East.

Head up the set of external stairs and into the welcoming kitchen/diner where you are greeted with a light and airy space. The kitchen is very well equipped, everything you need for whipping up a delicious meal, including an electric oven and hob, Nespresso coffee machine, microwave, fridge, and dishwasher. Sit down to dine at the large dining table with seating for six. Heading through to the welcoming lounge you will find a large, comfortable sofa for relaxing on and watching the Smart TV with DVD player. The double bedroom is located just off the lounge and offers a relaxed, calming décor and sumptuous double bed. Completing the property is an en-suite shower room with a walk-in shower and WC. The sofa in the sitting room turns into a very comfortable double sofa bed for additional guests (please note that the bathroom is accessible via the bedroom).

Below the apartment, accessible from the patio area, is a large utility room equipped with a washer/dryer, freezer and double sink. It is an ideal storage area for any bicycles or other larger items requiring dry storage.

 Outside the apartment is a patio and secluded garden area with a table and chairs, sun umbrella, chiminea and charcoal BBQ for enjoying al fresco meals. Private parking is available for two cars.

Pets are most welcome but need to be kept on a lead within the grounds, to ensure the safety of the many animals and birds gracing the property.

Children are very welcome but need to be supervised by an adult whilst walking around the property as there are two deep unfenced ponds within the property.

We booked the apartment for a 3 night break. The pictures had given us the impression that this was going to be a 5-star experience and they did not disappoint. From the moment we arrived and discovered bread, flowers, jams, butter, milk and chocolate eggs, we realised that Martine does not leave anything to chance. The bed is comfortable and the rRead moreooms were spotlessly clean. Set in private grounds and surrounded by beautifully manicured grounds, with geese, goats and peacocks! Perfect. Hide
