This home in Kent is one of a kind. The Grade II listed home sits on a 15th-century estate that boasts remarkable views of the North Downs – an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. You’ll have a heated swimming pool to look forward to, in addition to a tennis court. The house itself perfectly blends antique finds with modern comforts, so you’ll have everything you need for a cosy stay. Best of all, your four-legged friends are welcome to join you – and you don’t even need to leave the estate for delightful walks.

Home truths
The heated swimming pool is available from May until the end of September, weather permitting.
While not every bathroom has been photographed, we expect the style and standard to be consistent with the rest of the home.
This home is best suited to family groups.
This home is spread over two floors so may not be suitable for those with reduced mobility.
There’s a separate lodge on the grounds that may be occupied during your stay. You’ll have exclusive use of the estate facilities, but the driveway is shared with the lodge.

The log wall in the sitting room and the logs outside are purely ornamental. Your host provides two baskets of logs for your use.
