About the home

This charming ‘Hansel and Gretel’ cottage is tucked away down a short track. The setting is magical, off a quiet country lane, close to the golf course and behind a hedge giving true privacy and seclusion – ideal for a holiday getaway!

The cottage is beautifully presented having just been refurbished to a high standard. The traditional furnishings in pretty shades of greys and blues complement the period features of this lovely Arts and Crafts cottage with its gothic arches and delightful bay windows.

The cream and black kitchen is a real cook’s delight with wooden work surfaces, shaker style units, a new oil Rayburn cooker, window seat and pretty painted table and chairs to finish the look.

Outside there is ample parking and a large garden that surrounds the cottage – lots of space for all!

The cottage has been rated 4 Star by Visit Britain.

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.

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

Transport:
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 Canterbury / Throwley area

The cottage is situated about a mile from the pretty rural village of Throwley. It is next to Faversham Golf Club in the grounds of Belmont Park and the attractive market town of Faversham is within five miles, which has all the amenities of a good sized town including a swimming pool. The cathedral city of Canterbury is about ten miles away.

The cottage is part of the Belmont Estate and all visitors to it will be able to enjoy the wonderful grounds of the main house all the year round. During the summer months (April to September) visitors are able to go round the House at weekends, free of charge.

The area is unspoilt with narrow lanes, many orchards and hop fields, so typical of this area of Kent. There are numerous places to visit from the vineyards of Biddenden to the wonderful Cinque port coastal towns with their mix of smuggling and castles, and of course on your doorstep the Belmont Estate, with its wonderful House and beautiful grounds.

Day trips to France are easy and take as little as 35 minutes. There are many routes to choose from including the channel ports of Folkestone and Dover, the Channel Tunnel or by train from Ashford International, all within a 30 minutes drive of the cottage.

“Holiday in chocolate box” Very lovely cottage in the middle of nowhere it seems. Quiet, space enough for 5 adults. Clean, Nice welcome packet. Milk Orange juice some tea and butter and FUDGE. Not far from Canterbury Ashford, Maidstone, supermarket in Faversham, als lovely town. Cell phone beyond of reach and no telephone connection available, so in case of emergency you have to call the neighbours. And as dutch we were not used to coop with a rayburn, but it works well.
