About this property

Songbirds is a gorgeous shepherd's hut on the outskirts of St Michaels in Kent. This property is perfect for a couple wanting a rural escape as it boasts fabulous countryside views, a woodburning stove in an intimate setting and a barbecue to enjoy outside dining. Walk down the path and take in the rural atmosphere as you make your way to the entrance of your holiday home whilst listening to the birdsong. Step onto the deck to see the charming bijou living area. Leave the doors open to admire the view after your journey, as you sit back and relax. Make the most out of the electric hob and microwave if you fancy a quick bite to eat or cook up some traditional summertime treats on the barbecue while watching the sun go down. Sit out on the decking with the dog perfectly safe in the enclosed area. Share a drink to enjoy the golden taint of the sunset before stepping back inside. Use the woodburning stove to warm up and find something entertaining to watch on the Smart TV, or enjoy a game of cards. When you want to settle down for the night, grab a book from the selection on offer and curl up in the king-size bed. Once well-rested, have a refreshing shower ahead of another day of fun activities. St Michael’s boasts local shops, two pubs and four takeaways which are a short distance away. Tenterden, the Jewel of the Weald, is just over a mile away, access by a leisurely walk, brisk cycle, or a short drive, here you can really enjoy the ambience of an ancient market town and sample excellent food at any of the town’s many restaurants. Headcorn Aerodrome is 15 minutes by car, Spitfires often soar across the sky above, you can also find the Lashenden Air Warfare Museum with its unique collection of WW2 aircraft. Songbirds is close enough to walk to the town, and yet remote enough not to know that it is there. Immerse yourself in the countryside by going on a stroll in adjacent Knock Wood, head to the Tenterden Museum to enjoy some engaging exhibits or pick out your swimwear for a dip in the pool at the Tenterden Leisure Centre. Visit Chapel Down or one of the other Vineyards around to sample some wonderful wines. Visit one of the nearby National Trust properties or Castles within an hour’s drive. Not forgetting the Shuttle to France is a short distance away by car for a trip to France (don’t forget your passports). Sissinghurst is certainly worth a visit, as are Scotney and Bateman’s. Rye, with its cobbled lanes and medieval charm, invites you to wander through centuries of history, while Ashford, a gateway to the Garden of England, offers a blend of designer shopping and countryside escapes—all within easy reach by car. Tenterden, a quintessential English market town, boasts a beautifully preserved heritage steam railway that winds its way through the Weald of Kent to the fairytale-like Bodiam Castle, offering a nostalgic journey through rolling countryside. The beach is also easily accessible by car, visit Camber Sands to feel the sea gently caress your toes. Near Lydd, take on all Action Watersports or go wheel to wheel at Lydd Karting to reveal who is the quickest on track.
