Rent House Milk Bells Kent

If you fancy escaping to a chateau but don’t want to leave the country, this home is perfect. Situated behind electric gates, the west wing of this chateau-style home is in the glorious Kent Downs. Enjoy alfresco lunches on the terrace with its views over the countryside. Inside, the living room, with its solid oak floors, high ceilings and curved wall of windows, has an airy feel. Pop some logs in the wood burner, from your hosts’ own woodland, on chilly days and relax with a glass of fizz. We love the table made out of polished wine boxes.
When you are ready to explore, there’s plenty to do. Set in the rural village of Challock, located high on the North Downs, there are plenty of walks on your doorstep – make sure to keep your eyes peeled for the local deer. It’s just a five-minute walk to King’s Wood, which is carpeted in fragrant bluebells in spring. Or the cathedral city of Canterbury, with its cobbled streets and timber-framed houses, is twenty-five minutes in the car. It’s the same distance to Whitstable, where you’ll find a long stretch of shingle beach, fresh seafood and independent shops. There are several vineyards within a ten-mile ride, too, if you want to taste some of the local wines.
