2 Bed in Sissinghurst (oc-cb641)

This property has a fascinating history and was once lived in by a shoemaker and his family for many years while the main house used to be a coaching inn. The Old Cobblers Cottage at Kings Head House has now been beautifully restored and furnished to create a wonderful base to explore Kent. The property is attached to the owner's medieval hall house and offers spacious and bright accommodation full of original beams and antique furniture. There is a wood burning stove in the sitting room for cosy evenings around the fire and there is a separate snug TV room for relaxing or listening to music. Outside the chimney stack is a focal point and was copied by Vita Sackville West and used in her design at Sissinghurst Castle - the castle and gardens are minutes away. You can walk to the village pub which offers a great selection of food and drink and there is a general store across the road. Close by are the Wealden towns of Cranbrook and Tenterden and historic Rye is only a short drive away. Kent is known as the Garden of England for good reason and there are numerous local vineyards and farm shops to explore. From golf courses and beaches to forest walks and cycle paths this really is an all round holiday destination.
