We live in a cosy Victorian house 1km from the historic city of Rochester in Kent. We are 30 miles from London and 40 miles from the coast.We are close to the motorway so many places are accessible within a few hours.
Kent is known as `The Garden of England 'because of its orchards and reputation for growing fruit.It is a beautiful county with many historic house,castles & gardens. The coastline is pretty as are the towns and villages historical.You can eat and drink in some old and lovely pubs. If you like walking there are some excellent walks too.
Rochester is an old city with a castle and cathedral. In the High Street there are places to eat and drink.
Our house is on four levels. The cellar is known as our chillout room with sofa , computer and cinema. Our ground floor consists of lounge/TV room then dining room which leads onto the kitchen with breakfast bar and then on to a small conservatory.The next level has two bedrooms and a bathroom. Finally the attic sleeps two and has a shower ensuite.
Outside at the rear is our garden which is also on four levels.We eat on the lowest level and bbq on the highest level.

We are a self employed couple who own and run a catering business.We are passionate about making good food and eating it too! We love Rochester and the county of Kent with its many beautiful villages, countryside and its coastline. We like to visit London, which is so quick to get to from here.
