About this property
The Stable was renovated in 2020 to enhance your stay in the Canterbury area.
The Stable was renovated in 2020 to enhance your stay in the Canterbury area.. Ground Floor:
Living room: 42" Freeview Smart TV
Dining room.
Kitchen: Electric Oven, Electric Hob, Microwave, Fridge/Freezer, Dishwasher
Shower Room: Walk-In Shower, Toilet, Washing Machine
First Floor:
Bedroom 1: Kingsize (5ft) Bed
Bedroom 2: 2 x Single (3ft) Beds
Bathroom: Bath With Shower Attachment, Heated Towel Rail, Toilet. Oil central heating (underfloor on ground floor), electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included. Intial logs for wood burner included. Travel cot and highchair. Welcome pack. Grounds with sitting-out area and garden furniture. Private parking for 2 cars. No smoking.. The Stable is a beautiful red brick Grade II listed building and is set in the middle of magnificent parkland with mature trees, roaming sheep and an equestrian cross-country course. This unique, period property is an annexe of a larger coach house built in 1770, and is full of character reflecting its old use.
On the ground floor, you will find the living room with a wood burner, and the kitchen is well equipped, whilst the windows look out onto the coach house courtyard. On the first floor, you will find the bedrooms in the old hayloft. The Stable was renovated in 2020 to reflect the charm of the old building, but with modern touches like underfloor heating and excellent fibre optic broadband.
A framed map on the wall will help you to plan one of many beautiful walks onto the North Downs Way, The Pilgrims Way and more. The welcome pack includes a summary of things to do and places to visit, such as local farm shops, restaurants and walks nearby.
The Stable is a short 7-mile drive from the historic city of Canterbury, which is served by many shops, cafés and restaurants. Dover Castle and the White Cliff, along with several beaches, including Sandwich Bay, Minnis Bay, Whitstable and more, are within 12 miles. Why not take a trip to Deal, a gem of a coastal town just 17 miles away, and has cafés, independent shops and a fabulous fish & chip shop. A bus stop that delivers a regular bus service to Canterbury and Folkestone is a mere 15-minute walk away through the beautiful parkland. Beach 11½ miles. Pub 2½ miles and restaurant 4½ miles.
Free WiFi
The property is located on a working farm.
Children must be supervised on site due to possible safety hazards.
