Looking to escape the hustle and bustle without venturing hours into the middle of nowhere? Then make your way to this gem in the Kent countryside, close to Maidstone, to replenish and reset. A cute and quaint cottage, this home is just 45 miles from the centre of London. Natural stone floors hide the ultimate treat, underfloor heating, while neutral tones and a pastel colour palette lure the coastline closer with hints of sea blues beneath exposed beam ceilings. Combined, it introduces an informal rural luxury to the home. After a restful night's sleep, you'll wake up to plenty of natural light thanks to French doors that let you simply roll out of bed and onto the terrace to enjoy your morning coffee. Step away from your private space, and you'll uncover a choice of indoor and outdoor pools and a tennis court for shared use as part of the resort. Then, venture further afield and discover Bearsted Golf Club and the spectacular Kent Downs little more than twenty minutes away, while picturesque coastal towns like Whitstable and Rye are approximately 30 miles away – well within day-trip distance. With so much to explore nearby, and plenty of peace and quiet to be found once you return and close the front door behind you, this quaint cottage is the perfect place for you and your favourite person to spend quality time together.
