Annie’s cottage is a 1 bedroom grade II listed building, full of charm and character with a host of original features. Throughout the property, exposed flint walls which are part of the adjacent medieval building, add to its cottagey feel. Annie's Cottage overlooks the large secluded garden area to the front of Manston Court, and the newly created seating area allows you to sit quietly, taking in the peaceful ambiance of the property, as you enjoy a cup of coffee or glass of something, whilst reading the newspaper or soaking up the sunshine. It is also perfect for outside dining.
The cottage itself has a very large inglenook fireplace in the sitting/dining room, which incorporates an original bakers oven. The beamed ceiling and windows which show off the 3 foot thick walls, create a cosy feel in this lovely room, which stays beautifully cool on hot summer days, and comfortably warm on cold winter ones. A chaise lounge which converts into a double sofa bed, allows the flexibility of having additional guests. A television with free view and a DVD, allow you to be able to sit and relax whilst watching something or listening to music.
In the well equipped kitchen there is an electric hob with a circulating fan oven and grill. There is also a microwave oven, toaster, fridge with ice box, and a washing machine/tumble dryer.
The cottage features a bathroom with a shower over the bath, and a heated towel rail.
The first floor bedroom is a charming and romantic room, with sloping ceilings and bay windows. The king-sized bed and spacious walk in wardrobe add to the feeling of luxury and space that this accommodation provides.
There is private off road parking very close to the front of the cottage, and when it is hot, the trees opposite provide beautifully cool shade.
Set in a quiet rural location just outside the village of Manston, Manston Court is part of a cluster of buildings mentioned in the Doomsday Book.
The cost of linen is included in the price, but please could you provide your own beach towels. An iron, ironing board, hair dryer, high chair and travel cot for the younger visitor, are also provided.
