The Space:
This spacious cottage takes full advantage of stunning views across the Kent Downs, making it the perfect spot for visitors to Canterbury, sociable family gatherings, wedding parties and walkers. Located in the rural village of Petham in the heart of the Kent Downs, yet just 10 minutes drive from central Canterbury. It is also well located for trips to Ashford, Folkestone, Hythe and other central Kent locations.
The open plan living area has two trifold windows which open out onto a huge patio where you can enjoy a BBQ in summer, or sit around the fire pit on chillier days. There is a full-equipped kitchen with all you will need to prepare any meal and a dishwasher for quick clean ups. Enjoy a sit-down meal around the statement wooden table, or gather around the wood burner on colder nights and warm your toes on the heated floor. There is also a snug living room and playroom at the front of the house with a sofa bed should you need to sleep two extra guests. For at-home entertainment we have provided a Smart TV, board games and reading material.
There are 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a half bath on the ground floor. Three bedrooms have plush hotel-quality king size beds, and the fourth bedroom has twin/single beds which can be made into a king-size bed if desired. The main en-suite bedroom has massive picture windows which frame the view of the ancient woodland on the hilltop beyond the large garden.
We have planted a wildflower meadow at the front of the house, which provides a stunning display for both humans and pollinators in the summertime. The back garden is also a wild area, cultivated to attract the abundant wildlife.
Guest Access:
Guests have exclusive access and privacy to the cottage. Please note that there is no on drive for this property - all cars park on the street outside and access is via a shared path into the front garden.
The Neighborhood:
Petham is a relatively small and quiet village, making it an attractive place for those seeking a tranquil rural break. While Petham itself has limited amenities, it is close to the nearby towns of Canterbury, Ashford and Folkestone, which offer a wide range of shopping, recreational activities, transport connections and services. Close by, the villages of Chilham and Chartham are well connected to the national train network.
Getting Around:
The nearest major international airport is London Gatwick Airport (LGW), about 106 km or 66 miles from the property. You can travel by train, bus, or car. The journey by car or train typically takes around 1.15 minutes, depending on traffic and the specific route taken.
Other Things to Note:
Parking is free on Town Road outside the house.
This property is not recommended for people with limited mobility as you need to walk up into the house and it's on two floors.
We provide luxury liquid soaps, bath gels, shampoos, conditioners and toilet paper in all bathrooms. Please note that these are not replenished during your stay.
If you would like a mid-stay cleaning, it can be arranged for a fee. Please let us know in advance.
