Church Cottage, Kent, England

Available to rent for holiday lets, this quintessentially English country cottage is nestled on the edge of the village of Barham, in the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

With parts of the house dating from the 14th Century, the cottage sleeps up to 7 people in 2 double bedrooms, 1 twin bedroom and 1 single bedroom - with 2 bathrooms and a downstairs loo. On the ground floor there are 2 sitting rooms, both furnished in the classic English country house style - as well as a well-equipped kitchen with modern appliances, and a dining room warmed by an AGA.

Outside the dining room, a terrace overlooks the cottage's walled garden, lawn and apple tree, set against the backdrop of the magnificent stained glass windows and copper spire of St John's church next door.

Just 15 minutes drive from the historic city of Canterbury and its cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, 10 minutes from the famous Howletts Zoo & Wild Animal Park, and 25 minutes from numerous beaches, golf courses and seaside towns - the area offers a wealth of things to do for all ages.
