With two bedrooms, a private courtyard garden and a fireplace to fall asleep in front of on a Sunday afternoon, the cottage has everything you need without the hustle and bustle of the city.

And with the Bridge Arms so close you will be the envy of many of your friends.

The 16th century village pub is a Grade II listed building with fireplaces, low beams and a recently refurbished restaurant.

However, if you did want to venture out - further than the busting village, that is - then Canterbury’s shops, restaurants and historic attractions are only a short drive away.

There are also plenty of opportunities for scenic walking in the area.

These include the Elham Valley Way walk, which takes visitors through the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty to the coast at Hythe, and the nearby Bekesbourne circular walk, which gives you a sneak peek at the animals at Howletts.

There is also a recreation ground just a few roads away, which is a great open space for kids to burn off energy, especially as you can find a play area, tennis courts, a football pitch and adult gym equipment dotted around the park.

The property itself has a good-size reception room, a modern kitchen and a fresh, bright bathroom with immaculate decoration throughout.
