1 Bed Lodge in Ashford

About this property

This charming former stables nestles in the landscaped grounds of the owners' stunning medieval farmhouse, with lovely views over the meadows towards Orlestone Forest, which is a haven for birds (the area is famous for nightingales). It has been thoughtfully designed, incorporating many original beams and furnished to a high standard with the use of a summer house overlooking the pond, perfect for enjoying the countryside views and wildlife. The owners are developing wild flower meadows and were winners in the Kent Wildlife Trust Local Wildlife Sites award programme. There are many local walks along the quiet lanes and countryside including the nearby Gusbourne Estate where they produce award winning sparkling wine, so this lovely location provides a calm and peaceful escape from our busy world. It is also close to the Saxon Shore Way, perfect for keen walkers and nature lovers. It is within a short drive from the picturesque market town of Tenterden with its many shops, cafes and restaurants and no trip to Tenterden is complete without a trip on a steam train through the pretty Rother Valley to Bodiam Castle. In the opposite direction you will find the Cinque Ports town of Rye and the seven miles of Golden sands at Camber. Shop: 2 miles Pub: 1.5 miles Coast: 6.5 miles
