Property code: OC-CB584

A homely, well-appointed cottage surrounded by traditional Kent countryside, with a farmhouse, oast house and barn close by; a haven for couples who just want to immerse themselves in the local area. The cottage sits less than 0.5 miles from the village of Goudhurst, home to a vibrant community and crisscrossed by scenic footpaths. Walkers and cyclists can stretch their legs in Bedgebury Forest and around Bewl Water (both 5.5 miles), or take a trip back in time to Scotney Castle (5 miles) which is beautiful all year round.

The sitting room enjoys dual aspect views of the garden and countryside beyond, while the kitchen/diner will provide a relaxing place to chat while meals warm in the oven. A comfortable double bedroom offers a peaceful and restful night’s sleep, and the spacious bathroom invites you to enjoy a long soak in the bath, or a refreshing shower after a long walk.

The cottage’s small garden has garden furniture and sun chairs, perfect for an al fresco meal, reading or sunbathing.
