What the Owner says:
We love being able to sit out and revel in the views or wander around the park every day. Although the park is communal there are always plenty of places to go for a private read or to find a spot to enjoy a picnic with friends and family. In recent years we have replaced the kitchen and bathrooms, so the apartment has all the delights of period character but with all the advantages of modern day living.
We are not far from Shipbourne with its historic church and a charming village hall at the end of a Kentish Hall House as well as tennis courts, a good primary school, an excellent weekly farmer's market and the well-known Chaser Inn and restaurant. While the nearby historic village of Hadlow also features period buildings including the famous Hadlow Tower or ‘May's Folly'. This Grade 1* listed building stands 175 ft high and is the tallest such Roman Gothic building in the UK and its restoration won the Angel Award. There is a good primary school in the village while the Hadlow College of Agriculture and Horticulture is well-known and includes the Broadview Gardens where you can enjoy wandering around 10 acres of grounds. The village has a variety of shops, a pub, hairdresser and a church. There are also a library and a medical centre as well as cricket and bowls clubs and the village hall where a variety of activities take place to suit all ages.
