Little shoemaker's cottage annexed to a medieval hall house as a holiday let
- 477
A rural retreat with superb views perched on a ridge in an area of outstanding natural beauty yet less than two miles from Royal Tunbridge Wells.
Flying Horse Cottage has two ensuite bedrooms with king and super king beds and TV's in each. There is a wet room with a walk-in shower and a bathroom with a steel Bette bath. The cottage is tiled throughout and has fitted oak kitchen units handmade by a local craftsman, luxury underfloor gas heating and a wood burning stove. It is all on one level and fully accessible. The living area has two sofas, a desk and a wall mounted TV.
Outside the living room is a stone terrace with a rattan table and chairs and outside the dining area is a decking platform with benches, both these seating areas have glorious views across the valley of Spratsbrook Farm towards Tunbridge Wells in the distance.
Flying Horse Cottage is set in four acres of pasture and woodland and has private access to the ten acres of Bond’s Heath on which the owners have a fully equipped bird hide that guests can use to enjoy the countryside in all weather - birding, sketching or simply chilling. Bond’s Heath and the bird hide overlook the 450 acre RSPB Broadwater Warren and there is direct access to explore the Nature Reserve which leads on to the adjoining sandstone outcrops of Eridge and Harrison Rocks, both great picnic spots and some of the best rock climbing in southern England.
The cottage is ideally suited for couples and families with children aged 8 and over. It is not suitable for children under 8 as the garden areas are unfenced and lead to woodland and a pond. We do not take dogs except for guide dogs.
