Between the bustling seaside town of Whitstable and the charming cathedral city of Canterbury, the village of Hernhill provides the perfect setting for a quiet countryside retreat. And this little home, located next to the village green, welcomes you to relax, unwind and savour life’s simple pleasures. Set across one floor, you’ll find the open-plan living room and kitchen brings a wonderful sense of lightness to this cottage, while the pretty courtyard provides the perfect spot for your morning tea or later with early-evening drinks. And whether you’re here for an action-packed adventure across the Kentish countryside or simply to enjoy the beauty of slow living, there’s everything you could need to settle in and feel at home. You’ll also find a great pub within walking distance, while the idyllic Mount Ephraim Gardens are also within easy reach. And for explorations further afield, there’s an abundance of hiking opportunities straight from your door.
