Plantagenet Cottage is a charming and historic retreat nestled on the outskirts of a picturesque village in Ashford, Kent, within the stunning Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This unique cottage, dating back to the 16th century, was originally built by Richard Plantagenet, a natural son of King Richard III, making it a site of significant historical interest. Guests can enjoy breathtaking views of the Eastwell Manor Country Estate from the garden, and the cottage itself is filled with historical artifacts and literature that tell the captivating story of its origins.
Accommodating up to seven guests across three luxurious bedrooms, Plantagenet Cottage has been recently refurbished to blend modern amenities with rustic charm. The spacious living area features comfortable seating, a 40" plasma smart TV with streaming services, and a welcoming inglenook fireplace with a new wood-burning stove, ideal for cozy gatherings during colder months. The dining area, adorned with a vaulted ceiling and gothic arch, can comfortably seat six to seven people, while an office space equipped with network ports and USB charging caters to those needing to work during their stay.
The fully equipped kitchen boasts new appliances and ample space for meal preparation, complemented by a bathroom that includes a bath, rain shower, and a unique cubby hole within an exposed old fireplace. Outside, the property features a park-like garden filled with established trees and shrubs, providing plenty of space for children to play, complete with 'Teletubby' mounds, a BBQ area, a swing, and a large in-ground trampoline that adds to the fun for guests of all ages. A standout feature of the cottage is the outdoor heated swimming pool, which is available from April to the end of September, offering a delightful way to relax during warmer months.
Located in a rural area near the coast, Plantagenet Cottage is surrounded by local landmarks such as Godinton House and Gardens and Belmont House and Gardens, as well as the natural beauty of Kent Downs and Hothfield Heathlands Nature Reserve. Guests can engage in various outdoor activities, including game walks and birdwatching, or enjoy recreational pursuits at nearby attractions like AMF Bowling Ashford and Great Chart Golf and Leisure. The tranquil atmosphere and scenic surroundings make this cottage an ideal getaway for families and groups seeking both relaxation and adventure in the heart of Kent.
