Nestled in the peaceful village of Harrietsham, our home has been the perfect retreat for the past seven years. With vast countryside just across the road, we’ve enjoyed scenic walks and the tranquility of nature, whilst still being able to commute to London via regular train services.
We've found the neighbourhood to be quiet yet welcoming, with a real sense of community and beautifully maintained surroundings. We love that the local area offers all vital amenities, including schools, shops, restaurants, hairdressers, and a post office—all within easy reach.
Inside, the house features two spacious bedrooms and a dedicated office space, which has been perfect for us working from home. We’ve enjoyed landscaping the garden, and the pergola is lovely to sit under all year round.
