  • Grade II-listed luxury family farmhouse in quiet rural location
  • Stylishly decorated throughout with rustic charm and period features
  • Large contemporary kitchen and working Aga-style oven, woodburner for cosy evenings in
Property code: BT080

Situated in a tranquil countryside location between the quaint Kentish villages of Marden and Goudhurst, this sensational property sleeps up to 15 guests across seven bedrooms, making it the perfect destination for families or groups of friends celebrating a special occasion. Sample locally grown produce in one of the village eateries and enjoy locally brewed cask ales in the welcoming inns. Step back in time aboard the Spa Valley Railway for a nostalgic journey through the Kent countryside, or discover your head for heights on an adrenalin-fuelled zip-wire journey through the tree-tops of Bedgebury Pinetum.

 

Set in its own large gardens, this fantastic farmhouse blends original features with contemporary style. The generous reception hall is a welcoming space with open fireplace and cosy armchairs – the perfect place to greet your holiday companions. Pick up some ingredients at the local farm shop and cook up a storm in the spacious kitchen where you can relax with a drink at the central island as your meal cooks in the Aga-style oven. Relive the highlights of your day as you share a leisurely meal around the elegant dining table as you enjoy the views across the garden. In the evening, choose between the comfortable lounge where plump sofas invite you to sink into them and unwind in front of the wood burner, or the formal sitting room for board games and puzzles. At the end of the day, head upstairs to the well-appointed bedrooms, all of which are tastefully decorated in soothing colours with co-ordinating soft furnishings. Younger guests have their own cosy bedrooms on the second floor, with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and beds nestled into the eaves. After a day of exploration, fire up the BBQ for a sociable evening meal on the patio, while younger guests can explore the treehouse and swing, or simply let off steam running around the large gardens.
