Hill Farm Upper Rodmersham | Rodmersham | Sittingbourne | ME9 0QL Seller Insight When I first viewed Hill Farm, it was the rural location and olde worlde charm that really stood out for me. The views are amazing and it’s so peaceful and quiet, yet I also enjoy easy access to major road and rail routes, so it really is the best of both worlds here,” says the current owner. “For those of us looking for a country lifestyle in a gorgeous 16th century cottage that has been renovated to the highest standards, it can be found here at Hill Farm and accessible right from the doorstep. I can shut myself away and relax in the surroundings which are perfect for cycling and walking with my dog. It is very quiet, but I’ve never felt isolated as the amenities in Sittingbourne, Faversham and Canterbury are easily accessible, plus it’s close to the coast which is great for trips to the seaside. I’d also highly recommend the cakes and cooked breakfast after a long bike ride at the lovely little café in Rodmersham.” “I love gardening and can often be found outside tending to the mature flower beds, trees and hedges. It’s not overlooked at all, so it’s perfect for relaxing and entertaining. The decked area is ideal for getting together with friends and family and I’ve enjoyed many late nights out here around the chiminea without the worry of disturbing any neighbours. The views are amazing and on a clear day, I can even see as far as the Isle of Sheppey. There’s a huge variety of wildlife and birds to look out for too, including the red kites soaring over the fields behind. I’ve been thoroughly spoilt, it’s just perfect!” “Hill Farm has some beautiful original features, such as the inglenook fireplaces in the dining room and living room. The living room is a great place to relax and snuggle down in the warmth, especially during the colder months. The bedroom is another favourite room as I can lie in bed and look out over the fields. In fact, all of the rooms and lovely and I enjoy them all,” concludes the current owner.* * These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property.
