What the Owner says:
What the owners say: We moved here about four years ago as we loved the cottage and the peaceful surroundings and shall be sad to leave but business commitments mean we must move. Over recent years the property has been refurbished using reclaimed materials and we have installed the log burners and a new boiler. Stodmarsh is a charming hamlet with an historic church and a pub/restaurant and there are wonderful walks around the Nature Reserve. Nearby Littlebourne village includes a village shop and post office, a recreation ground, cricket club and a good primary school, while Wickhambreaux primary is rated Outstanding by Ofsted. Fast trains from Sturry whisk you to London in just over an hour.
