About this property
Rustic 2 Bed Stable in the Heart of the Kent Downs
The North Stable is a unique, recently redecorated stable completed in the lockdown of '21. We're bringing the outside in with natural woods, earthy tranquil colours, cosy textiles, beautiful pottery and art. With its handmade kitchen and top-end appliances and its scrumptious teal green bathroom with walk-in wet-room, freestanding bath and natural reclaimed walls. The North Stable is a real retreat, something different for a country getaway.
Welcome to the North Stable and Crabtree farm - We've furnished the stable with many modern touches, local art, uncovered original wooden beams, mango wood storage. We've made sure it's cosy in the winter months with an entire underfloor heating system in the bathroom.
Our family home - Crabtree Farm is an 18th century Grade II listed farmhouse situated on the outskirts of the rural village of Hastingleigh, an area of outstanding natural beauty high on the Kent Downs. We have two cosy converted stables, the north and south, backing on to 10 acres of beautiful open fields.
We have animals on the farm, including sheep, chickens, cats and a dog, and lots of free-roaming wildlife.
Crabtree Farm is located along a quiet country lane and is surrounded by England's best countryside, with many great walks, drives and attractions (an abundance of heritage sites and fun places to go for families). With a short drive/walk, you're in the Wye national nature reserve - a place to experience spectacular wildlife, hiking trails & sweeping views.
We also have the South Stable for let should you require more space for family or friends.
We look forward to welcoming you.

About the host
Hosted by andrew jenkinson
Crabtree Farm is our family home, and an 18th century Grade II listed farmhouse located in area of outstanding natural beauty high up in the Kent Downs, on the outskirts of the rural village of Hastingleigh. We have a selection of modern rustic holidays lets: The two converted North & South Stables, the Granary, and a bell tent (available in the summer), all backing onto ten acres of beautiful open fields.
We’re a family of four – The husband Andrew (a Yorkshire lad originally from the small fishing village Filey), the wife Rachel (the jewellery designer of www.racheljacksonlondon.com from Leyland in Lancaster), two beautiful children River and Herbie, the pampered, long-haired Dachshund Rafferty and two cats Dotty and Ziggy.
We’re looking forward to welcoming you into our home.

Why they chose this property
Back in September 2019, we moved to Crabtree Farm having spent over 20 years living and working in London. We needed a change from the hustle and bustle of London, and wanted to create something new and exciting for our future. In addition to building upon our current holiday lets, we’re developing an environment in which families can stay together, cook together, and form new memories together with a focus on sustainability.
What makes this property unique
We believe in creating an environment in which families and friends can stay together, cook together, and form new memories together with a focus on sustainability.
