The local school is in the next hamlet of Bodsham and there is a popular Inn within walking distance at Hastingleigh, The Bowl Inn, which has been voted the best pub in Kent a couple of years in a row.

Boundary Cottage
Boundary Cottage is a Colt bungalow which is timber framed and renowned for being environmentally sound, naturally climate controlled, hard wearing and quickly constructed. Built in the 1960’s and a popular house choice/ design in this area, the bungalow offers comfortable and flexible living accommodation and lots of natural light. The property would now benefit from some sympathetic updating and is laid out as follows:
The spacious entrance hall has a cloakroom to one side and a door leading through to the dining room. The kitchen is just off the dining area and is fitted with a range of retro orange and wood wall and base units with worksurfaces over, oven and washing machine, breakfast bar and table. There is a door to an inner hall and door to the rear garden. The spacious sitting room has a feature fireplace and is double aspect with a wall of windows and double doors overlooking the beautiful garden. From here is an inner hall with access to all 3 bedrooms, 2 of which benefit from built in cupboards. There is also a family bathroom with bath, pedestal wash basin and w/c. There is plenty of potential for extending subject to the necessary planning consents.
Gardens
The property is entered from the lane onto the driveway leading to a double garage with an up and over style door. The gardens are a major attraction wrapping around the property however in recent years have become a little neglected. Extending to around a third of an acre, the gardens are mostly laid to lawn with mature shrubs, trees, plants and flowers. A path takes you around the property and there is a patio seating area outside the french doors of the sitting room. A greenhouse is sited to one end of the garden as is the oil tank.
