LOCATION Pear Tree Barn sits in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the outskirts of Wittersham village and on the south side of the Isle of Oxney (part of the High Weald of Kent). It looks down into the valley and over to the other side with unrestricted views. Yet whilst rural, the location is not isolated. Wittersham itself has a village store and there are several thriving country pubs nearby. Four miles to the North lies the market town of Tenterden and served by Waitrose and Tesco supermarkets, doctor's surgery, independent shops, pubs and restaurants. Friday is market day. The historic town of Rye, renowned for its mediaeval fortifications, fine periodic architecture and plethora of artistic and cultural events lies seven miles to the south. Camber Sands is a stone's throw away. To cap it all the internationally renowned Chapeldown vineyard is a mile from the property. Mainline stations to London are available from Ashford (17 miles) where there is a high speed service to St Pancras (journey time 37 minutes). Alternatively, Headcorn and Staplehurst stations are approximately 13 miles away.
