Attached to the owner’s original hop barn, Oast Barn Cottage is a charming 300-year-old retreat for two, thoughtfully restored to make the most of its historic character while offering a warm and comfortable stay.

Inside, original features give the cottage plenty of personality, from exposed beams and wooden floorboards to the wood-burning stove that anchors the sitting room. The kitchen adds to its charm with hand-built cupboards and an original brick floor, while upstairs, the comfortable, king-size bedroom and spacious bathroom – complete with a large roll-top bath – make it especially well suited to a romantic cottage break in Kent.

The setting is wonderfully peaceful, surrounded by the orchards and rolling countryside that make this part of Kent so appealing. For walkers and cyclists, there are quiet lanes, footpaths, and scenic routes close by, while days out are easy too, with Faversham, Canterbury, and Whitstable all within reach.

A short walk or drive brings you to The Plough at Stalisfield Green for a good local pub meal, while nearby Charing offers a handful of independent shops and village charm.

For those looking for a Kent countryside cottage with plenty to explore nearby, this beautifully restored country cottage with period character, a pretty garden, and easy access to some of Kent’s best-loved towns and countryside seemingly ticks every box.
