#TheGardenOfEngland



A charming period cottage with a generous garden, and further grounds across the lane, providing ample parking, a car port, and a grassed area leading down to the brook.

Located in the sought-after rural village of Stowting, nestled in the rolling countryside of the North Downs, now designated as a National Landscape (formerly Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty – AONB).





Brook Forstal Cottage is a charming detached period property with two generously sized reception rooms, each with richly beamed ceilings, bressummer beams crowning the inglenook fireplaces, and beautiful parquet flooring underfoot. Twin bowed bay windows to the front invite natural light, while the dual-aspect sitting room features glazed doors opening directly onto the rear garden, creating a seamless link between indoor and outdoor living.
Throughout the cottage, French-polished oak doors with brass fittings add character and warmth. The ground floor also offers a utility room and a well-appointed kitchen with solid wood cabinetry and work surfaces. A rear lobby leads to a cloakroom and provides secondary access to the garden.

A wide oak staircase rises to a horseshoe-shaped landing, framed by more of the cottage’s beautifully crafted oak woodwork, giving access to four double bedrooms and two bathrooms—all with windows overlooking the gardens.

Gardens & Grounds

The beautiful rear garden is reached via a set of flagstone and brick steps, opening onto a generous lawn bordered by mature shrubs, trees, and planting. The space offers a tranquil outlook, ideal for outdoor relaxation or entertaining.
Further grounds lie across the quiet lane at the front of the property, providing ample parking, a large carport, and a grassed area leading to a year-round brook, with picturesque views across open fields and woodland.

The property is located in the highly sought-after village of Stowting, nestled in the rolling countryside of the North Downs, now designated as a National Landscape (formerly Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty – AONB).
The village is known for its well-regarded primary school and its popular pub and restaurant, The Tiger. It also offers a picturesque parish church, a community hall, and a delightful village cricket green.

Despite its tranquil setting, Stowting is easily accessible via the B2068 Stone Street, offering a direct route between the cathedral city of Canterbury and Junction 11 of the M20 motorway.

There are mainline railway stations at both Sandling and Westenhanger, each offering connections to Ashford International, where HS1 services reach London St. Pancras in just 37 minutes. The Channel Tunnel is approximately six miles away, and the Port of Dover around thirteen.
The surrounding towns are served by an excellent choice of schools in both the state and independent sectors, including grammar schools for both boys and girls, with school buses running nearby.
