Blue & Green cottages #5: Fuchsia Cottage, Kent

The first cottages4you property to be featured in October is Fuchsia Cottage, a lakeside cottage right in the heart of the Kent countryside.

These two delightful holiday cottages enjoy an idyllic setting, surrounded by trees and an abundance of wildlife, in six acres of shared grounds.

Converted from former stable buildings, both cottages overlook the lake where herons, kingfishers and moorhens can be spotted, and benefit from views over the surrounding Kent farmland, each with its own patio from which the country air and unspoilt scenery can be enjoyed.

This is a genuine rural haven, far from major roads and an excellent area for walkers, it is accessed along a farm road and has many good foot paths to explore.

Within easy reach are the famous Sissinghurst Castle Garden and Smallhythe Place, featuring the Dame Ellen Terry Museum and a timbered, 16th century yeoman’s home.

The magnificent cathedral city of Canterbury and the beach at Camber Sands are both 20 miles away.

Golf, tennis and riding are available locally. Shop 1½ miles, nearest pub just over a mile away.

For more information about this marvellous property, visit cottages4you’s website. Blue & Green Tomorrow receives a small agent’s commission from every holiday booked which helps fund our intern and researcher programme.
