Set in a fabulous rural location in the Kent countryside, offering a luxury getaway for two with views across your own lake, this property is the perfect bolthole.
Located 2.5 miles from Biddenden which boasts a restaurant, a pub, a tearoom, and a shop. Biddenden Vineyards is a 4-mile drive, offering wine tours and tastings and you can enjoy walking from the door, along the lane, to the local pub, The Three Chimneys, which is dog friendly. Sissinghurst Castle and Gardens, is 2.4 miles away and can also be reached across the fields. Tenterden, with its tree-lined High Street, offers some lovely shops, pavement cafes and restaurants and it is also the starting point for the Kent & East Sussex Railway. The pretty neighbouring village of Cranbrook, a 5-mile drive, has a windmill, museum and offers an array of independent shops.
Step into the hallway with underfloor heating and a floor to ceiling window and door, providing direct access to your private hot tub. Also, the perfect place for pets to cosy up! The main room has a panoramic window with access to a glass-fronted wrap round veranda, showcasing the stunning lake views and the fields beyond. The living area is open-plan and light-filled with a large comfy L-shaped sofa and pouffe. The TV signal is terrestrial Freeview and is connected to the wildlife cameras that are strategically placed around the grounds. There is a modern, well-equipped kitchen for all your cooking needs, large breakfast bar with two high backed stools and separate dining table and two chairs. The bedroom has a French door opening out to the hot tub and it also has a screened freestanding roll-top bath for an indulgent relaxing bath, but also fitted with soaker shower above, for those who like the ease of a shower. There is an ensuite WC which has underfloor heating.
Outside, overlooking the lake you can watch the sunset from your veranda, or from the hot hub. There is also a patio area with patio, table and chairs, a charcoal BBQ and chiminea. There is a shared utility cabin with a sink and drying cupboard for coats and walking boots. This property can be booked in conjunction with either of its two sister properties, The Bolthole – sleeps two and The Warren – sleeps four. There is a six-seater hot tub with sunshade and additional seating under a tented canopy (seasonal) for outside dining if The Boathouse and The Warren are booked together or if all three properties are booked together.
