Description

Peels End is a charming house tucked away down a private driveway in the heart of the lovely village of Elham, with the benefit of private parking for two cars. The house is spacious and light, and enjoys gorgeous views over its own garden, the church spire and hills in the distance. There is comfortable accommodation for up to six guests. 

The hallway/dining area opens onto a large sitting room with a cosy wood burning stove for cooler days, and French doors leading onto the patio for warmer days. Beyond the kitchen is a sunny conservatory, opening on to the patio, all overlooking the garden. Upstairs are three spacious bedrooms, one en-suite, and a family bathroom. The peaceful, enclosed garden is South facing and very spacious with a choice of seating areas. 

Elham has become known as a place to eat out. There are two dog-friendly historic pubs serving food, one of which is an exceptional gastro pub, a 15th century restaurant with bar, a cafe and a village shop, so there is no need to venture far from the house if you don’t wish to. Elham village is set in the beautiful Elham Valley, nestled between historic Canterbury and Folkestone and Hythe, with their nearby beaches. Elham is in the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, so exploring the many footpaths is highly recommended.  The house is pet friendly too and accepts up to two dogs so do bring your four-legged friends and enjoy a walk in the unspoiled countryside followed by a drink or lunch at one of the charming village pubs.

Out and About: 

Apart from the delights of Elham itself and the surrounding Elham Valley countryside, the village is well placed with good access to the historic City of Canterbury with its cathedral, museums, restaurants and shopping, or head south to the coast. The seaside towns of Folkestone, Sandgate and Hythe are all a short drive away and offer a host of activities from the Creative Quarter and trendy Harbour Arm in Folkestone, to a must do ride on the Romney Hythe and Dymchurch steam railway stopping off at the iconic Dungeness nature reserve.

Reviews

Lovely house and garden, well equipped and spacious. Ideal location if you want to see the English Heritage attractions in the Dover area

Mrs J,

We went for a long weekend to the property. It was really well-equipped. There are plenty of books that you can read and also games for kids and adults. It is very beautiful house and garden. The host is very helpful and welcoming - left us milk and very delicious jam. We had a great time. If you are looking for a beautiful place to stay and enjoy the tranquillity of the English countryside this is the best place for you.

Mrs P,
