The Farmhouse, Nr Sittingbourne
The Farmhouse is comprised of three exceptional buildings in a great setting. The main farmhouse, a traditional 15th Century thatched timber framed property, sleeps 7 guests along with 2 further properties, full of character; Stable Cottage sleeps a further 6 and The Barn sleeps an additional 5 guests with an attached leisure complex. A welcome hamper greets you and toiletries are provided for your stay. Regretfully the property cannot be let as a venue for any events or parties and due to the fire risk of the thatch no fireworks are allowed. There is an outdoor heated swimming pool set within a walled garden (heated between 1 May and 30 September). The property has beautiful gardens with a water feature as well as views to the village cricket pitch and adjacent orchards. This property can only be booked for family holidays only and has very strict noise restrictions.
