Chalk Garden

Chalk and Kent is an inescapable pairing. Built on it, shaped by it, even the wine here tastes of its clean minerality. Then finding Chalk Garden Cottage might be the perfect place to try a taste of that same clarity in water or a glass of Kentish wine whilst sitting near the pool, hot tub or on the sunny patio.

This five bedroom house sits in the middle of the village of St Nicholas at Wade, named for the need, hundreds of years ago, for inhabitants to literally wade out into the harbour at that point on the Kent coast. No need now, as it sits inland but within easy reach of Kentish seaside towns including Herne Bay and Margate with Broadstairs a little further away. The village has a pub and a 12th Century church but also excellent connections to local train services and the road network making Canterbury, Whitstable and the market town of Faversham near enough for catching some entertainment, meals out, shopping or all three.

The cottage is a wonderful holiday home for a great get together for family and friends. Sleeping up to 14 people, with up to two pets allowed, it has plenty to keep everyone busy together here. In the summer months the outdoor pool will come into its own whilst the hot tub is available year round for relaxing in. There’s a games room with its own bar and a mini gym so your routines don’t slip on holiday. The fully equipped kitchen overlooks the cottage garden (stepped in places). Outside there’s a wide patio with a barbeque perfect for family entertaining.
