About the home

The Stables is situated on the outer edge of the farm buildings in this tranquil location on Court Lodge Farm. The cottage faces south with the lovely sunny patio being an ideal spot to linger over a meal on a balmy summers evening.

Inside, the cottage has been newly converted and is prettily furnished in a lovely eclectic mix of antique furniture and prints and comfy squashy seating. The sitting room leads straight out onto the sunny seating area with a cosy log burner for those winter evenings.

The charming farmhouse style kitchen has every conceivable machine and is freshly decorated in yellows and whites. There are two double bedrooms (one double, one twin) both with en suite facilities together with a guest cloakroom.

The cottage has use of a tennis court. There is carp fishing available and lovely walks on the farm, with possible sightings of both wild boar and deer!

The cottage has been rated 4 Star by Visit Britain.

The Ashford, Kent area

Orlestone is a charming hamlet tucked away near the village of Hamstreet. The farm itself is at the end of the hamlet and there are far reaching views in all directions of the surrounding countryside.

Hamstreet has local shopping with the market town of Ashford some 5 miles to the north with its good shopping and recreational facilities including the Designer Outlet Centre.

Romney Marsh with its wide open landscapes, long sandy beaches and smugglers towns of Rye and Winchelsea are within 30 minutes. Access to the Channel Tunnel is at Junction 10 of M20 with several crossings per hour, taking 35 minutes a time! For day trips to London, there is a regular service every half hour from Ashford Station, and the International station in Ashford offers trains to Paris within 2 hours.

Further afield, there are many wonderful gardens to visit with Sissinghurst Castle and Great Dixter within an hour. As this is the Garden of England, the local produce from farmers markets is extensive with local wine tastings in Tenterden and fresh oysters in Whitstable!
