About this property

Country cottage near Canterbury, shared use of tennis court & pool, dog friendly

Stable West forms part of a converted Edwardian stable block and is situated in a rural yet convenient location, on the edge of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty only 2 miles from the edge of Canterbury. It has a large double bedroom (super kingsize bed) with en-suite bathroom on the ground floor, and a further double and single bedroom with shared bathroom on the first floor - all have very comfy mattresses. There is a fully equipped kitchen/dining room with seating for eight, a large attractive sitting room with wood burning stove and Sky Sports, and a light and oak beamed conservatory with additional dining table which leads to an enclosed private garden with a terrace (table and chairs and BBQ). There is a downstairs cloakroom / utility room. The cottage has its own parking forecourt and is surrounded by the owners' large garden and wild flower meadow where you are free to wander. Use of tennis court and swimming pool and EV charging by arrangement with the owners.

High chair, travel cot and stair gate provided by arrangement.

Please note that we have (friendly) dogs living next door who may come and visit! As well as Canterbury there are many other places of interest within easy reach, such as Howletts Zoo Park (10 minutes by car), Dover Castle (25 minutes) and Sissinghurst Gardens (40 mins). There is also a wide variety of beaches and seaside resorts between 20 and 40 minutes away. Canterbury is less than an hour from London by train, and we are 20 minutes from the Channel Tunnel if you fancy a day trip to France. There are many lovely walks straight from the house, and the Granville pub is a10 minute walk away, serving delicious food and also great for a pint of the local beer.

About the host

Hosted by Charlie & Lucy Markes

Host profile image
We have lived at Heppington for the last 20 years, and our four children have grown up here, enjoying the space and the lovely surroundings. Stable West is part of a large stable block converted into three self-contained houses, and our home is one of these. We feel that Heppington combines the best of both worlds - set in beautiful unspoilt countryside yet within easy reach of Canterbury, London and France.
