Stable West - Self-catering house in Kent
Stable West,
Heppington,
Street End, Canterbury, CT4 7AN, Kent
England,
Regno Unito
At the end of the humble track, you'll find the established Heppington vineyard and a beautifully converted Edwardian stable block. The friendly owners live at one end of the stables, you live at the other, and all you hear are the birds. There are logs for the wood-burner, wine from the estate and fresh flowers for the table, and heaps of country-house space. So: enter a hall with white paintwork and chequer tiles, a lofty sitting room in duck-egg blue, a big fresh kitchen/dining room with all you need, and an airy sun room, perfect for the papers. The en suite bedroom is downstairs and the rest are up: a twin/double; a single; a bathroom under the eaves. Colours are muted, carpets soft, beds comfortable and everything shines. Outside? Rolling views of Kentish countryside from a well-tended pretty garden, a pool enclosed by a rose-tumbled wall, a wild meadow sprinkled with flowers. Swimming and tennis can be arranged, historic Canterbury is up the road, and if you fancy a well-pulled pint - or a top-notch Sunday roast - you simply stride across the fields.
