Retreat to this beautifully kept 17th Century Cottage
A home from home 17th Century cottage with rustic charm aplenty. There are two bedrooms, one with an open fire plus another open fire (formerly the bread oven) in the living room. There is a dining room/library, bathroom, loft and kitchen with a rear stable door leading to the secure, ample and sunny Secret Garden complete with fruit trees and Mulberry Bush. The cellar helps to keeps your wine chilled in summer. Getting out and about you have easy or vigorous walks and cycling options around the stunning Kent countryside, living up to the name 'the Garden of England'. The village of Groombridge dates back to the 12th Century and just across the old road from the cottage is the fantastic and famous Enchanted Gardens of Groombridge Place, the setting for the recent movie 'Pride and Prejudice'. The village has two pubs, one just 100 meters away plus church, baker's and grocer's. Next to the village cricket pitch is the working Steam Railway to take you to nearby Royal Tunbridge Wells
