A Unique Tudor Manor House dating from 1547
The Grade Two listed former Manor House of Painters which lent its name to our village. Recently teased back to its historic best, showing the original additions of its custodians over its 500 year history. The house has many quirky features that have been left as found, from the nooks, creaks and the crackles in original plaster work. Sometimes used as a film and photographic location furnished with an eclectic array of props and furnishings that set it apart from the usual country house stay. Just along our lane is The Alma , a traditional Kentish ale house, family run and offering great food throughout the year both inside and in the beer garden. The house has a large twelve seater dining table beside the inglenook fire, great for gatherings. Walks are on our doorstep with orchards, open fields and Faversham creekside all easily accessible. The one acre gardens have two firepits stacked with logs and a large BBQ area coals supplied. Faversham a historic medievil town is easly walkable or a ten minute drive through apple orchards lining the roadways.
Make yourself comfortable in this vacation home, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected.

Perfect property
We had the best time, the property was exactly as described and stocked with everything you could need. The location is ideal to be far enough away to relax but then great access to Kent either via the M2 or on the train. We used the house as a base to explore the coastline. Les kept us informed in the build up to our stay and was always on hand if we needed anything. Quite simply the house let us have the best family holiday ever.

Best stay ever!
I stayed with 10 friends down in Painters and we had the most amazing time. Les was really helpful and was so generous with leaving us local wine and bread.
The house is unbelievable - it has so much character and amazing outdoor space. It is also really well stocked and has everything you could possibly need. Sharon and her husband who run the campsite couldn’t have been nicer (especially when we ran out of ingredients!)
Could not recommend the place more and looking forward to coming back for a winter weekend.
