We moved here about three years ago as we loved the character of the cottage and the quiet and peaceful surroundings, and we shall be sad to leave but business commitments mean we must move. Over recent years the property has been refurbished and brought back to its former glory using reclaimed materials and, since we have been here, we have installed the log burners and a new boiler but, with the opportunity to extend the property with existing planning permission available, new owners could really make it their own.
Stodmarsh is a charming hamlet with an historic church and a delightful dog friendly traditional 200 year old country pub/restaurant so you can enjoy an evening out without having to drive. There are also wonderful places to go for walks around the Nature Reserve while Littlebourne village is only a short distance. It includes a village shop and post office as well as a recreation ground and playground, skateboarding, an outdoor gym, a BMX circuit and the Littlebourne cricket club while nor far is the Howletts Animal Park.
