The property is situated in the rural hamlet of Rolvenden Layne, which has its own public house, just on the edge of Rolvenden, a pretty Kentish village with a parish church, restored windmill, weekly farmers' market and village shop with post office. Nearby is Great Maytham Hall, which was lived in by Frances Hodgson Burnett and inspired her to write "The Secret Garden". 4 miles to the north is the town of Tenterden which is served by Waitrose and Tesco supermarkets, doctors' surgery, banks, independent shops and restaurants. The Ancient Town and Cinque Port of Rye (9.5 miles) is renowned for its medieval fortifications and fine period architecture. The town has a comprehensive range of shopping facilities and an active local community, with the arts being strongly represented. Rye Festival is held annually. There are a number of well-regarded public and state schools available in the area. Mainline stations to London are available from Ashford (18 miles) where there is a high speed service to St Pancras (journey time 37 minutes), Headcorn (11.5 miles) and Staplehurst (12.5 miles). A great attraction is the Kent and East Sussex Railway which runs steam trains through ten and a half miles of unspoilt countryside between Tenterden and Bodiam.
