What the Owner says:
What the owners say: We bought this property 19 years ago and have loved updating the house and creating the garden, enjoying the swimming pool and also developing the ‘good life' with our own fruit, vegetables, chickens and bees. We like the space, the views and the countryside surroundings yet it is only eight minutes' walk to the centre of Horsmonden.

This charming village is surrounded by farmland, orchards and vineyards and bordered by the River Teise and lakes for fishing and bird watching. There is a large village green, a convenience store, pharmacy, hairdresser, surgery, a good primary and kindergarten school and a village hall with a variety of activities, while popular nearby pubs include The Halfway House and The Hopbine Inn.

There are excellent state and private schools in the vicinity. Regular bus services, including school buses, connect the village with neighbouring towns and schools while trains from Paddock Wood can whisk you to London in 48 minutes.
