There’s an air of New England elegance to this Kent cottage with its wood panelling, bright whites and blue accents. But its brick exterior, country kitchen and stunning grounds place it unmistakably in the 'garden of England'. Indoors, you'll find a character home, smartly renovated, with original beams and pretty windows blending with modern furnishings. There's a small but well-equipped kitchen for cosy meals at home, and a dining table just for two – or you can eat outside on the patio on fine days. And did we neglect to mention the outdoor pool? Imagine warm summer afternoons dipping in and out, then lazing on the lawns with a book. Here you'll be just a fifteen-minute drive from the upmarket town of Sevenoaks, with Knole Park and its famous herd of deer, or head to Ightham Mote, Hever Castle or a number of other attractions, all less than half an hour away by car.
