What the Owner says:

\"We found this wonderful cottage with its stunning views and lovely garden after a long search and have loved our time here but now need to downsize. Although it is a rural environment, we are on a bus route and school buses take children to primary and secondary schools. We are close to Lower Hardres with its village hall, pub and restaurant and an excellent farm shop. Nearby Bossingham has a good primary school while Stelling Minnis includes a pub, village store and the famous Minnis for a good walk, while Bridge has a supermarket, surgery, dentist, pubs and restaurants as well as another good primary school.\"
