This whimsical and romantic home in Kent makes the perfect setting for a quintessential countryside stay. Set within a wild yet thoughtfully curated garden, this converted barn is filled with character and charm. From the moment you step inside, there’s a sense of tradition that invites you to pause and soak in the atmosphere. This is a wonderful place to slow down and enjoy the rhythm of countryside life. Whether you’re relaxing in the living room or cooking in the kitchen, there’s a sense of warmth and comfort that flows throughout this home. Spend your days exploring the surrounding countryside. There are wonderful walking trails from the door, as well as local pubs, cafes and shops in Westerham village – only thirteen–minutes away. History lovers will find themselves drawn to Chartwell House – the former home of Winston Churchill is a six–minute drive away. After a day in the fresh air, you’ll love the feeling of coming home to relax in the roll-top bath. Warm summer evenings can be spent in the beautiful garden, enjoying the playful sweetness of this setting. And on cooler nights, light up the wood-burning fire and share a cosy evening in traditional English style.

Local guide


About Croydon

Croydon may not be the most obvious choice for a neighbourhood when visiting London, however it still has a lot to offer. While it is far out from central London, the transport links are excellent, with fast trains straight into London Bridge. At the moment the area is in the midst of a redevelopment project, so it's mainly a residential spot. But, hotspots such as Boxpark (the larger version of its Shoreditch sibling), Surrey Street Market and Matthew's Yard means there is plenty of activity on the weekends.
