Location: The village of Hamstreet is affectionately known as ‘the gateway to the marsh’, being located six miles south of Ashford where the ridge of clay hills meets the flat expanses of Romney Marsh, an area once awash with smuggling. Three long distance footpaths pass through the village; one follows the peaceful banks of the Royal Military Canal - the UK's third longest defensive structure, and two pass through the expansive woodland that is Hamstreet Woods. A second area of public woodland is located northeast of the village at Orlestone Forest. Orlestone is the original location of the village - now just a hamlet. The village has an array of local amenities including a shop with a post office, The Dukes Head pub, The Cosy Kettle tearoom and an Indian restaurant. There is a railway station with links to Ashford International and Hastings. Ashford International has high speed links to London St Pancras in just 37 minutes. Hamstreet primary school is 1.5 miles from the property, and regular buses run to and from Ashford town centre with a fantastic selection of secondary schools.
