Set beside the village green in the picture perfect Kentish village of Wickhambreaux, Bell House is a wonderfully characterful 16th century home, made for relaxing weekends and countryside escapes with family and friends. Sleeping eight across four bedrooms, this much loved house has been in the same family for more than 350 years and is full of the quirks and character that come with its remarkable history. Beams, wooden floors and a magnificent inglenook fireplace sit alongside comfortable furnishings and everything needed for a self catering stay. In autumn and winter, gather around the wood burner after a long country walk; in summer, throw open the doors and make the most of the beautiful large garden, which has a lovely river (safely fenced off) at the bottom. At the heart of the house is the generous kitchen and dining room, with a large table seating eight, perfect for long breakfasts or evenings spent together. The comfortable sitting room provides plenty of space to relax, while the four bedrooms are arranged across two floors, including a twin bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor. Outside, Bell House really comes into its own. A large patio provides plenty of room for alfresco lunches and summer barbecues, while the long lawn stretches away beneath mature trees towards the Little Stour at the bottom of the garden. There's space for children to play, grown ups to linger over lunch and everyone to enjoy the slower pace of village life. And the setting is rather special. Bell House overlooks Wickhambreaux's pretty village green, with the welcoming Rose Inn just moments away and beautiful countryside walks beginning from the village. Wander through the surrounding lanes and footpaths towards Ickham, Littlebourne and Wingham, stopping for lunch at one of the area's excellent country pubs along the way. For days out, Canterbury is around 15 minutes away, while the Kent coast is easily reached for trips to Whitstable, Sandwich and Deal. Whether you're planning a family get-together, a weekend away with friends or simply looking for somewhere peaceful from which to explore both coast and countryside, Bell House is a wonderfully atmospheric place to gather and spend time together.
