An inviting cottage in an exceptional location in Sandwich, this Kent retreat benefits from convenience to shops and eateries as well as beautiful views. Overlooking the Gazen Salts Nature Reserve, which is bordered on three sides by the River Stour, the property is also just 150 metres from pubs and restaurants. Enjoy a 4-mile circular walk through the verdant Stour Valley or follow a section of the Saxon Shore Way, which runs for over 150 miles between Gravesend and Hastings. Play a round or two at Prince’s Golf Club, 4.5 miles away, or go wildlife watching at the Sandwich Bay Bird Observatory Trust, 2 miles away. Head to Sandwich Bay, 2.5 miles away, to walk along the sand or try your hand at wind or kite surfing. Pegwell Bay Country Park, 4 miles away, with its footpaths, cycle routes, play area or scenic views, makes a great family afternoon out.

Let yourselves into the cottage via the hallway, where you can hang your jackets and slip off your walking boots or beach sandals. Wander on through to the kitchen/diner, which has something of a boutique hotel style, with its feature wall, beams and high quality finish. Prepare a delicious meal in here, then pull a plush stool up to the breakfast bar and enjoy a drink while dinner roasts in the range-style oven. The charming lounge/diner is also a great place to relax with soft seating and French doors to the garden for summer days. While away your evenings together in here, dining at the table and watching movies on the Smart TV. There is also a handy WC downstairs. When you are ready to retire for the night, head on up to the first floor of the cottage, where your three inviting bedrooms are situated. These are all double in size and one has the luxury of an en-suite shower room. The stylish family bathroom, which features a slipper bath, is also on this floor.

Spend fine days out in the lawned garden at this holiday hideaway. Backing onto a nature reserve, this area is a haven for local birds and wildlife. Cook out on the BBQ and dine at the table on the patio. This cottage comes with private parking for one car.
