2 Bed Cottage in Tonbridge

About this property

Tucked away in the small town of Hadlow, this cosy cottage is just a short stroll from local shops, pubs, and cafes, making it an ideal base for couples or small families exploring North Kent together. History lovers can tour grand estates nearby, including Hever Castle, Penshurst Place, and Chiddingstone Castle (all within 12 miles), or wander the magnificent National Trust properties of Ightham Mote (7 miles), Knole (10 miles), and Chartwell (14 miles). For a change of pace, spend the day in the sought-after spa town of Tunbridge Wells (10 miles) and peruse boutique stores, sample fine dining, or admire the Georgian architecture of The Pantiles. Outdoor enthusiasts are also well served, with many bracing walks and cycle rides across the Kent Downs, followed by a hearty pub meal or a relaxed evening in the comfort of this welcoming retreat.

Enter this mid-18th-century cottage to be thoroughly welcomed by characterful beams, storybook windows and cosy furniture that beckon weary feet. Drop off boots and coats in the hallway before entering the charming dining room, where you can admire the owner's artwork over a cup of coffee. The lounge is just as inviting, with two comfy sofas centered around the flames of the wood burner and a Smart TV for catching up with the latest thrilling boxset. When it's time for dinner, the quirky curved kitchen is a unique space for whipping up family feasts and comes equipped with all the amenities needed for a self-catered stay. The utility is adjacent and features a washing machine, tumble dryer, and fridge/freezer to make holidays stress-free. Finishing this floor is the shower room, which includes a WC. Upstairs is as whimsical as the rest of the cottage, with two dreamy bedrooms (a double and a twin) and an en-suite bathroom with an extraordinary door, only 400mm wide.

Outside, the traditional cottage garden is perfect for relaxing with your holiday read before gathering at the patio seating for evening tipples and al fresco nibbles. Guests will also benefit from private parking for one car.
