Poplar Farm House is a beautiful Victorian detached house that has been lovingly renovated by the owners. Many period features have been retained along with high ceilings, stunning picture windows, decorative fireplaces and wooden floors. The interior is a wonderful combination of traditional and modern, with lovely colour accents and original artwork in many of the rooms. The house is spacious and comfortable, with a large sitting room, dining room, kitchen and shower room. Upstairs are four large bedrooms and a family bathroom. Outside, the large garden is a haven for children to play and explore, with lots of seating for the adults to watch and relax after a busy day exploring the historic town of Sandwich and further afield. The Georgian coastal town of Deal is close by, with its long beach and pier, and vibrant high street with cafes, restaurants and artisan and boutique shops. Poplar Farm House is the perfect holiday home for families and friends to relax and unwind.

The picturesque town of Sandwich is 2 miles away from Deal and has a rich cultural heritage as one of the Cinque Ports. Sandwich is a true gem, being one of the best preserved medieval towns in the UK and is now in ownership of its own Magna Carta. It has lots to see and do including the Guildhall with its ancient courtroom and museum, White Mill Rural Heritage Centre, Salutation Gardens anad four historic churches. It is a lovely town to wander around with its narrow streets and timber framed buildings. There is an independent retro cinema, a delicatessan and grocers and a good choice of places to eat and drink. There are many events in the town centre throughout the year including street festivals. Just outside of Sandwich is Richborough Roman Fort and Amphitheatre, an English Heritage site, where you can explore the huge stone walls of this saxon Shore fortress. The fort can be reached on the Sandwich River Bus, a traditional type boat that travels from Sandwich quay to the fort. During the summer take a trip towards the sea and spot wildlife and seals. Golfers will be spoilt for choice with three golf courses literally on the doorstep including one 27 hole Championship Links course – Prince’s – and two 18 hole courses Royal St. Georges Sandwich and Royal Cinque Ports Deal. Sandwich Bay can be easily reached by car or by foot – it is a wide, sweeping pebbled beach that exposes sand flats at low tide. For walkers and lovers of the countryside, there is beautiful walk from Sandwich Bay that meanders on a public footpath across the sand dunes of Royal St Georges and follows the River Stour to the quay in Sandwich. The quay has a good selection of terraced bars and dining options. Sandwich Bay Bird Observatory Trust Field Centre is open daily and a great day out for all ages. The centre is a great source of information about general wildlife in the local area, as well as rarer sightings for the avid spotter.
