All Saints Cottage

All Saints Cottage Canterbury-Available from August 2010

This historic two bedroom centrally heated cottage is really close to the centre of Canterbury but with a small secluded decked courtyard overlooking the river. 

All Saint's Cottage is accessed via an ancient cobbled lane off St Peter's (one of the main pedestrian walkways of this historic city). It is tucked behind a larger imposing period property and therefore is surprisingly private.

We also provide a telephone for incoming calls ,wireless broadband and a parking card is provided for Canterbury West long stay car park.

    
   

The ground floor consists of a small cosy sitting room which opens into the small but well fitted galley kitchen. These two rooms are separated by a pair of unusual antique wooden dividers. The kitchen includes a dishwasher, a cooker, microwave, a fridge, freezer and all the utensils you will need for your stay. The washing machine and dryer are located in the summerhouse on the decking. The sitting room has a lovely brick fireplace with a wood effect fire, a large corner sofa, leather tub chair, an antique corner settle with a small dining table and chairs. There is also a small wc on this floor.


        

A steep period staircase leads up to the First Floor which comprises of a small double bedroom with antique bed overlooking an old courtyard and the famous Witches Ducking Stool.

There is a separate bathroom which consists of a bath with shower over, WC and wash hand basin.

And finally there is a small dressing/storage room . This room also has a television with free to air channels.

The last flight of steep stairs leads to the second floor Master bedroom. Even with its sloping ceilings this eaves room is still the most spacious room of the property and there is also a small window with views to Canterbury Cathedral (visible from your bed!).It consists of an Antique double brass bed, a seating area, a TV with DVD player and plenty of storage space.


      

There are some relatively low doorways and some uneven floors but the height of most of the ceilings in All Saints is surprisingly good. Especially for a cottage of this age.

The riverside courtyard is in a truly exceptional location and we have provided comfortable outside seating and table for you to enjoy your waterside experience to the full. The only passing traffic you will find here are the punts gliding by (a flat bottomed boat propelled by a long pole). The river is also home to ducks and the occasional swan !

Children are most welcome here but must be kept under close supervision due to the steep stairs and riverside location.
