About this property
Mafeking by inspirestays-com - a cottage that sleeps 6 guests in 3 bedrooms
THE PROPERTY:
Mafeking is a 3-bedroom home in the centre of the pretty village of Benenden, Kent. With generous social and games room spaces, a sophisticated colour palette and shades of natural wood, it is perfect for families to explore this wonderful part of the Weald. This property is listed here by inspirestays-com, the premier independent holiday company in the South East. Visit us direct for full info about this home, including a floor plan.
To the left through the front door is a cosy snug room with comfortable seating, Smart TV, log burner and French doors onto a veranda. To the other side of the porch, the large sitting room offers a big sofa, armchairs and a Smart TV. With a picture window to the garden and double doors into the kitchen-dining room, it has a great open plan feel. The dining table sits in front of another log burner, and the kitchen is well-equipped for your stay. Beyond the kitchen is a convenient utility room and a separate study with monitor, USB-C docking station, keyboard and mouse for catching up with work.
The three bedrooms are gathered around the central dining area: - Bedroom One: double (4'6) bed, built-in wardrobes and drawers and an en-suite shower room. - Bedroom Two: king size (5') bed, wardrobe with drawer. - Bedroom Three: single bed (80cm wide) and wardrobe with drawer, with a pull-out bed to make a 160cm side-by-side twin for bookings with 6 guests. Please note that due to limited space the additional pull-out bed in Bedroom Three will only be set up and linen provided for bookings of six guests. For booking with 5 guests or less, Bedroom Three will be made up as a single. - Family bathroom: claw foot bath.
Outside, the garden provides a circular lawn, winding paths, a patio with table and chairs and plenty of trees and borders. There is a summerhouse games room with table football, while the garage offers table tennis for fun come rain or shine.
