4 Bed in Bethersden (oc-r44852)

Set in the village of Bethersden and mid-way between the Kent Downs and the High Weald National Landscape, this Grade II-listed cottage charms with its characterful original features and cosy living spaces. Sleeping up to eight guests, it’s the perfect base for families and groups of friends planning days of adventure across Kent together. Bethersden features an ancient church just metres away, tennis courts and a children's playground, as well as a friendly pub and shop within just 50 metres of your door. Beyond the village is a wide choice of peaceful walking routes, plus easy access to the popular market towns of Ashford and Tenterden (both within 6.5 miles). History enthusiasts will enjoy visits to the ancient city of Canterbury and the 14th-century Bodiam Castle (both within 19 miles), while other local attractions include the Kent & East Sussex Railway (7 miles), which cuts through the beautiful Rother Valley.

Before stepping into this 16th-century cottage, take a moment to appreciate its traditional red-brick exterior. Head inside and find that the historic charm continues in the form of roaring wood burners, sloping eaves, and exposed walls and timber beams. Be greeted by the farmhouse-style kitchen, which features everything needed for a self-catered stay, including a breakfast table for easy dining and a wood burner for chillier days. The lounge/diner forms the social heart of the home, boasting a long wooden dining table and ample soft seating arranged around a statement wood burner and Smart TV. Just off the lounge, a snug offers space for the group to spread out and unwind, featuring a sofa and a choice of toys and games. When it’s time to call it a night, head upstairs and find a choice of four restful bedrooms spread across the first and second floors. On the first floor is a super-king-size room with an en-suite shower room, plus a king-size bedroom served by the nearby family bathroom. Up on the second floor, set under the sloping eaves of the building, you’ll find another king-size bedroom and a cosy twin room.

Spill outside and make full use of the peaceful, fully enclosed garden. Featuring mature planting and a furnished patio, this is the best spot to gather for quiet morning coffees and al fresco evening meals using the charcoal BBQ. Parking is on-street and unrestricted, although subject to availability.
