Cottage In Kent, Rochester

Kent. Sleeps up to 10

Set on the Hoo Peninsula this property is ideally situated for exploring the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty where keen walkers can head onto the Saxon Shore Way straight from the front door. The Heron Cycle Trail is a great way to experience the local scenery and the Dickens Walk around Higham will also take you past Gads Hill Place, the home of Charles Dickens, where tours are available. Explore the local historic towns, most notably Rochester (2.5miles) which has many must see attractions including the Rochester Cathedral, castle and its charming High Street with bars and restaurants. For those looking to venture slightly further afield, within 7 miles you can visit nearby attractions like Diggerland, Cyclopark and St Andrews Lake with water sports available for a great family day out. The front door of the property opens into the light and airy hallway, off from which you will find the games room with its large sofa, smart TV, table tennis and table football, and also a ground floor king size bedroom with an additional single sofa bed for a child. Heading down a small flight of steps takes you into the large open plan family room, featuring a kitchen/diner/lounge. This is the hub of the house and has a relaxed informal feel to it. The lounge has a large comfortable corner sofa nestled around the smart TV with Netflix, and the dining area has a contemporary dining table that seats 12. The kitchen is fully fitted with electric double ovens, an electric hob, combination microwave oven, fridge/freezer, wine cooler and dishwasher. Enjoy a morning coffee at the central island with bar stools or later in the evening whip up a cocktail at the bar whilst enjoying socialising with the family. The ground floor is completed with a utility room with a washing machine and a cloakroom with WC. Heading back through the hallway with its glass gallery landing and up the open tread oak staircase takes you to the split level first floor where there are two king size bedrooms, one of which has an en suite shower room and walk in wardrobe. The family bathroom with a walk in shower, bath and WC is also on this level before a couple of steps that lead to the remaining two bedrooms: a super king size, zip and link bedroom (that can be made into a twin upon request), which also has a single sofa bed for an additional child, and a king size bedroom with en suite shower room. Bi fold doors open from the living space onto a composite decked area that wraps around the house.
