About the home

This beautiful Kentish Oast House is in a truly wonderful position, set in the grounds of an historic Queen Anne House, in its own private garden and surrounded by fields with far reaching views in all directions. South facing, all the rooms are sunny and light with a particular feature being the main bedroom and sitting room in the roundel of the Oast.

The property has recently been refurbished to a very high standard and is in immaculate condition throughout with many original features giving much charm to the property.
Outside there is a garage in addition to parking on its own private driveway.

The property is in the pretty unspoilt hamlet of Warehorne, with its Norman Church and excellent gastro-pub within walking distance and offers comfortable accommodation for large groups wishing to holiday together. This stunning Kent holiday home has 3 luxurious bedrooms all dressed in crisp cotton linens. Wooden floors and original beams throughout give the property a traditional feel. The fully equipped farmhouse kitchen, including range style cooker and spacious dining area make this the ideal place to cook up a feast and entertain family and friends.

Ideally located 8 miles to the south of Ashford and on the edge of Romney Marsh, there are many local facilities in the neighbouring village of Hamstreet, including a mainline station to both Brighton and Ashford International, which offers a further range of shopping, the high speed rail link to London St Pancras (37 minutes) and the Eurostar. The pretty market town of Tenterden is within 7 miles and the historic Cinque Port of Rye can be reached both by train and car in under 15 minutes.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
This stunning Oast House is approached by a private driveway. The front door opens into a wonderful state-of-the-art kitchen, with range-style gas cooker, extractor fan, dishwasher, washing machine and American fridge-freezer. An impressive oak table that comfortably seats 10 guests, sits at the centre of the kitchen and provides the ideal place to enjoy your festive feast! An abundance of crockery, cutlery and glasses has been provided for use during your stay. A door leads from the dining area on to the pretty garden to the front of the Oast.

The roundel sitting room, with luxurious cream carpet and beautiful soft furnishings as well as pretty floral curtains, occasional tables and table lamps complement the room perfectly and make this the ideal place to sit and relax after a busy day with a glass of wine. There is a sofa bed also in this room which can be used for larger groups.

The staircase leads from the kitchen to the first floor, where there is a mix of cream carpets, wooden floors and original beams. All bedrooms have been luxuriously dressed in crisp cotton linen from The White Company; bedside tables and lamps give the rooms a romantic feel. The en-suite bathroom has a large shower, wash hand basin and WC. The owner has thoughtfully provided Neal’s Yard toiletries as well as white cotton bath robes and fluffy white bath towels throughout for use during your stay. The second bedroom is also a double room with zip link beds and has spectacular views of the garden, making this the perfect room to wake up in. A family bathroom, also on this level has a bath and shower over, wash hand basin and WC. Both bathrooms have been tiled with Fired Earth tiles. A short staircase leads up to the largest of all the bedrooms, a stunning roundel room in the top of the Oast with wooden floors and amazing double aspect views. There is a 5ft double bed that can be separated into twin beds, plus 2 further day beds which can be made up on request and would be perfect for children who would love sleeping in this unique and completely round bedroom!

Children’s and babies’ requirements will happily be accommodated as far as possible in terms of cots, high chairs etc and additional catering can be provided with prior notice.

Further details outdoors:
Outside there is a fully enclosed garden with beds full of mature shrubs and plants. A live willow playhouse is a fabulous place for children to hide out and let their imaginations run wild. A terrace area complete with BBQ, table, chairs and a parasol is the perfect place to enjoy al-fresco dining. There is an abundance of things on offer at this unique holiday home with table tennis, badminton and boules.

The South East England / Kent region

Kent is in the South-East of England and consists of many important districts such as Dartford, Maidstone, Ashford, Canterbury and Dover.

Canterbury inspired Chaucer's Canterbury Tales and William Golding worked in Maidstone.

Kent is easily accessible by road, sea or rail. Indeed, Dover is the closest point to France and remains a hub for ferry travel to the rest
of Europe.

Tourist Attractions:
Canterbury Cathedral
Chartwell, Winston Churchill's home
Deal Castle
Dover Castle
Leeds Castle
Rochester Castle
Coldrum Stones
Brockhill Country Park

This is an area of the UK which contains many walking and cycling routes as well as over 500 years of history.

The Ashford, Kent / Warehorne area

The Kent village where this holiday home is situated is on the very edge of Romney Marsh which has wonderful walks over the Marshes, woods and along the historic Royal Military Canal. The property itself is on a private farm, with its own old traditional orchard and private wood land, full of bluebells and wild orchids in spring. The renowned Saxon Shore Line Walk is within 200 metres of this self-catering holiday home in Kent.

Why not take advantage of the direct access to this private land and woods surrounding the property, the ideal place to walk off your Christmas dinner or, on a spring or summer break, perhaps take a picnic hamper filled with locally produced goods and wine or champagne from the Chapel Down vineyard that the owner has supplied and lay back underneath the trees and take in the smells and sounds of the glorious Kentish countryside.

Hamstreet, the nearest neighbouring village (4 minutes drive) offers the local village shop, newsagents who will deliver newspapers, including foreign newspapers, a family-run Indian restaurant as well as a family-run pub, which also offers take-away fish and chips. If you fancy exploring the Kent countryside by bike, the local bicycle shop hires adults’ and children’s bikes and offers a repair service.

Hamstreet is situated approximately 8 miles from Ashford International and is ideal for the more adventurous amongst us who would like to go a little further afield whilst on holiday. The mainline station in the village takes you to Ashford within minutes where you can jump on the high speed line and be in London in 37 minutes. There are also excellent road links to the M20 (within 15 minutes) and the coast.

The renowned smugglers’ town of Rye, in neighbouring East Sussex, is within fifteen minutes, either by car or by train, with its winding narrow streets, antique shops and restaurants and the picturesque market town of Tenterden is within 10 minutes’ drive.

The wonderful sandy beaches of this part of Kent are nearby and for the more adventurous types there are numerous water sports available. There are also several well-known Kent houses and gardens to visit within easy reach, including Sissinghurst Castle and Gardens, Penshurst Place, Smallhythe Place, Godinton House and Gardens, Goodnestone Park and Leeds Castle.

To the north is the historic cathedral city of Canterbury and Port Lympne Animal Park, together with the renowned Rare Breeds Centre are within a few miles and well worth a visit during your stay. For more ideas on places to visit please look at our ‘things to do’ section on the website.

The owner is dedicated to making your stay as enjoyable as possible and is happy to stock your fridge using local produce including organic meat from the local farmer and butcher who can also supply fresh eggs and various different produce depending on the season. A luxurious picnic hamper can be provided; what more could you want as a truly relaxing break away from home with no pressures of everyday life, not even the cooking!
