Location
Rheewall Cottage is situated in a semi-rural location on the outskirts of the picturesque village of Appledore, which offers a good local store, post office, tearoom, public house with restaurant, village hall, parish church and recreation ground. As well as this, the surrounding unique, distinctive and very beautiful Romney Marsh landscape is on your doorstep. From the decked terrace at the back of the cottage you can see right across Walland Marsh towards Camber, and from the bonus piece of land on the opposite side of the road, the views extend across the Military Canal and marshes to the Gusbourne vineyards. The picturesque coastline is also just a short drive away. The Cinque Port towns of Rye and Tenterden are 6.5 miles distant by car and offer a wide selection of shops, supermarkets, banks, restaurants and leisure amenities. There are a wide choice of schools in the area in both the state and private sectors and this property comes within the catchment for the well regarded Ashford Grammar schools. Appledore Station one mile away connecting to the Ashford and the High Speed line to London with a commute time of just over an hour to St Pancras.
Kitchen / Breakfast Room (6.86m x 3.66m)
With its modern country shaker style kitchen and breath taking views, this spacious, sunny room which accommodates both sitting and dining spaces, really is the hub of this home. The kitchen has a range of grey coloured units with granite worktops and double Butler sink. Range oven and American style fridge/freezer (by separate negotiation). Integrated dishwasher. A large island unit makes good use of the space and provides a great deal of additional storage. Bi-fold doors across the rear of the dining area give access to the south facing decked terrace. Open doorway to dining room.
Dining Room (3.53m x 3.45m)
This lovely room sits between, and is partly open to the kitchen and the sitting room, making it a sociable space, ideal for entertaining and family gatherings. It would also work equally well as a study or home office (nb: There is Superfast Broadband to the property).
Sitting Room (3.63m x 3.40m)
With its beautiful working fireplace, this inviting room is perfect for cosy nights by the fire. Stairs to the first floor divide this room from the dining room next door.

Outside
As you approach Rheewall Cottage over the driveway that provides off-street parking for several cars, you are immediately struck by the spectacular uninterrupted views over the marshes towards the wind turbines at Camber sands. There is also a timber garage with light and power connected and a driveway on the opposite side of the cottage which could provide two further parking spaces if needed. A south facing decked terrace at the back of the house has incredible views and is the perfect place for sun worshippers. For the more active, there are many good walks over the marshes which can be directly accessed from the rear of the property and for nature lovers, this cottage also benefits from a strip of land (circa 0.3 of an acre tba) on the opposite side of the road which gives direct access to the canal and is a haven for wildlife visitors. For those looking to live the good life, this piece of land supports a number of fruit trees and is presently home to a few lucky hens.
