This lovingly restored former gamekeeper’s cottage in the owner’s grounds, built around 1850, was once part of the local estate and now residing in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with stunning views across the Brede Valley. This cottage for all seasons has two wood-burning stoves, ideal for curling up in front of after a stroll through the Brede High Woods where you are likely to spot deer, and see the carpet of bluebells unfurl in the spring. The French doors in the dining room open on to a terrace from where you can view the garden which brims over with exotic plants. Ideally placed for visiting the renowned gardens of Great Dixter, Sissinghurst and the tulips at Pashley Manor. The area also produces great wines which can be sampled at Carr Taylor, Lamberhurst, Chapel Down in Tenterden and Biddenden. See the lovingly restored and fascinating steam engines, the ’Giants of Brede’. The market town of Battle is close by where you can walk across the famous battlefield of 1066. Visit Tenterden with its weather-boarded houses and tea shops, and see why it is called the ’Jewel in the Weald’. Take a boat trip from Newenden and explore the River Rother, or a ride on the Kent and East Sussex steam railway through the glorious countryside to Bodiam Castle.
