Step into this home and you’ll find yourself in the epitome of a countryside cottage. A cosy stove warms the living room, and the garden is filled with flowers, trailing plants and pretty corners where you can sit and enjoy a book or a glass of wine in the evenings. It’s nestled in the village of Hawkhurst, right on the border of Kent and Sussex, meaning that you’ll be able to enjoy the best of both these stunning English counties. A short drive will take you into the heart of the countryside where you’ll discover National Trust homes, gorgeous public gardens, and all the quaint pubs and local restaurants you could want – or you can drive to the coast in half an hour for a taste of seaside living.
