Church Cottages offers the opportunity to purchase a most attractive mid-terraced cottage situated along a no-through lane in the heart of the sought after village of Newenden, and within easy reach of the historic Cinque Port towns of Tenterden and Rye and next to the village of Northiam. This much loved three bedroom period home, which has undergone extensive and sympathetic refurbishment by the current owners to exacting standards, offers beautifully presented accommodation throughout. But it is not just the inside which needs to be seen to be fully appreciated. Outside, the garden to the front has wonderful views over the pretty parish church and the stunning countryside beyond and to the rear, the garden backs onto farmland which is used mainly for sheep grazing. In addition, there are many beautiful walks close by to enjoy along the River Rother and across the surrounding countryside and for the more adventurous, the river provides opportunities for boating and watersports.
