Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Once a milking parlour, now a modern home, this place offers respite in the Kent countryside. You’ll feel comfortable all year round here – the enclosed garden is a treat during the summer and the underfloor heating is a welcome in the winter. If you want to make your stay that bit more special, your host provides cocktail-making kits as an optional add-on. Location-wise, the Kent Downs Area of Natural Beauty is right on your doorstep and the town of Ashford is a fifteen-minute drive away.
