Tucked away in the quiet hamlet of Ripple near Deal, Raspberry Cottage is the sort of place you fall for before you have even stepped inside. With its picture-perfect pink façade and thatched roof, this delightful cottage offers a warm and welcoming escape for couples, friends, small families and golfers alike. Owned by the same family since the 1980s, Raspberry Cottage is a much loved family home, full of character and thoughtful touches. In recent years, the rear of the cottage has been carefully renovated, adding two modern shower rooms and a well-equipped kitchen. Upstairs are two comfortable and thoughtfully decorated bedrooms. One boasts a king size bed and the other a double with an optional single day bed, ideal for children or teens. Outside, a sunny large garden and big patio area is a quiet spot to unwind with your morning coffee or an evening drink while enjoying views of the surrounding countryside. Your four legged friends will love it too, with plenty of footpaths from your door leading into miles of open farmland. Whether you are wandering to the local pub just down the road or exploring further afield, this is a truly peaceful corner of Kent. The location couldn’t be more perfectly placed for day trips. A short drive brings you to the charming seaside town of Deal, with its pebbled beach, pier, and abundance of independent shops and eateries. Dover Castle and the iconic White Cliffs are nearby for history lovers and walkers alike. Families will adore Betteshanger Park or White Mill Aqua Park for outdoor adventure, while just minutes from the cottage lies Solley’s Ice Cream Farm - complete with a bar, events and local produce shop. Raspberry Cottage is a place you will want to return to, time and time again. Perfectly positioned and full of character, it captures everything we love about the Kent countryside.
