Nestling in 12.96 acres of delightful grounds within the High Weald National Landscape (formerly an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) is this impressive early Edwardian residence with far-reaching views over the surrounding countryside. As you sweep onto the forecourt with its ornate circular central flower bed you can begin to appreciate the appeal of this lovely family home with its imposing chimneystacks, variable roof lines and bargeboards as well as bay and casement windows. The covered porch leads to the stunning reception hall that sets the tone for this charming home with a log burning stove that heats the downstairs and immediately surrounds you with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that continues as you move throughout the house.   Although the property has been sensitively modernised to create a contemporary environment it still retains superb period features including wood flooring, the original oak staircase, coved ceilings, dado rails, panelled doors and original fireplaces in many of the rooms. No where is this better illustrated than in the almost 36ft lounge/dining room with its angled box bay window and stone fireplace with a second log burner and is ideal for entertaining. This elegant room has a glazed door to the large, wood framed conservatory that has slate tiled flooring, lovely views over the swimming pool and the garden and is big enough room to provide additional seating and dining areas. There is also a large reception room with a curved glass extension that is currently in use as a ‘snug’ and is ideal for the kids to have their own space. The excellent dual aspect kitchen/breakfast room is more than 29ft long with sufficient room for a large breakfast table and chairs for informal family meals. It includes a range cooker, a store cupboard and charming white units housing an upmarket American fridge freezer and stand-alone appliances. There is a fascinating fitted cloakroom just inside the front door and a secondary hallway where you will find an additional cloakroom, the plant machine room and a utility area/boot room as well as French doors to a small patio area. A second staircase leads up to a 30ft bedroom with an ensuite shower and a balcony overlooking the grounds that is currently in use as a well-equipped gym. It is over the two double garages and this whole area could be converted into a large separate annex, subject to the necessary permissions.   The other five double bedrooms are accessed via the main staircase that leads to a spacious galleried landing with skylights and an airing cupboard as well as to the modern family bathroom with a stand-alone oval bath, a walk-in shower and a vanity basin.

For anyone with equestrian interests there is a wild meadow that could accommodate horses and it also includes a large barn that could be converted to stables or it would also make an excellent workshop/studio or office complex for anyone working from home who needs a quiet and peaceful working environment.   What the owners say: As soon as we saw the house we fell in love with the spacious rooms, the warm and friendly atmosphere and the grounds as well as the far-reaching views. While we are surrounded by more than 12 acres of grounds and woodland we are not far from the main road for very easy access to Tunbridge Wells and East Grinstead, but we hardly notice any noise and when we are in the garden and the swimming pool, we just enjoy the sound of the birds and the sight of the deer wandering through the grounds. We shall be very sad to leave our wonderful family home but a change in circumstances mean we have to pass the baton on to new owners.

Two areas of woodland frame the property, creating a natural avenue and a picturesque vista visible from many of the principal rooms and bedrooms.

To the east, a newly constructed machinery store, also suitable as a helicopter hangar, adds a discreet yet highly practical modern touch. History - Few houses can claim a history as rich or as influential as Holwood, and fewer still combine such pedigree with effortless modern living. The site itself is recorded as an Iron Age fort, Caesar's Camp, and has long been recognised for its strategic and scenic importance. In the late 18th century, Holwood became the cherished retreat of William Pitt the Younger, Britain's youngest ever Prime Minister, who commissioned Sir John Soane to remodel the house and transform the surrounding landscape. It was here, beneath a great oak tree in 1787, that Pitt famously encouraged William Wilberforce to begin the parliamentary campaign to abolish the slave trade. The house was later rebuilt in its current classical Georgian form by the celebrated architect Decimus Burton in 1827. Over the centuries, Holwood has welcomed an extraordinary roll call of visitors and residents, including Charles Darwin, who conducted experiments in the grounds, and Winston Churchill, who dined here regularly during the Second World War. Today, the house and grounds are Grade I listed, reflecting their exceptional historical significance. Location And Lifestyle - Holwood House enjoys an elevated, private position just east of the charming village of Keston, which offers a village hall, pub and post office. More extensive shopping can be found in Bromley, with Sevenoaks under 14 miles away. The area is renowned for its excellent schooling, with a wide selection of highly regarded independent and state schools within easy reach. Fast rail services from Orpington and Bromley South provide swift access into central London, while the M25 is readily accessible. Golfers are well served by nearby courses including Chelsfield Lakes, West Kent and Lullingstone Park. Biggin Hill Airport is just 1.7 miles away, with Gatwick and London City also within comfortable reach.

Set within an exclusive gated collection of just nine architect-designed homes, this beautifully crafted single-storey residence combines striking contemporary architecture with advanced construction methods and some of the highest environmental standards seen in modern homebuilding. Vaulted ceilings, extensive glazing and thoughtfully designed living spaces create a wonderful sense of light and openness throughout the home, while high-quality finishes and a bespoke kitchen ensure everyday living feels both practical and luxurious. What truly sets Barn 3 apart is its commitment to energy efficiency. Built to exacting standards and achieving an exceptional A+ energy rating, the property has been designed to minimise heat loss, reduce energy consumption and provide year-round comfort. Features including a highly insulated building envelope, solar generation, air source heating and heat recovery ventilation work together to dramatically improve efficiency when compared with many traditionally built homes. For buyers looking to move away from the rising costs and maintenance demands often associated with larger period or older properties, Barn 3 offers a compelling alternative. The focus is on future-proofed living, helping provide greater certainty over household running costs while reducing environmental impact. Combined with the convenience of single-storey living, private garden, garage and excellent connectivity to nearby villages, amenities and rail links to London, Barn 3 presents a rare opportunity to enjoy modern luxury in a beautiful countryside setting. A home designed not only for today, but for the years ahead.   What the Developer Says Hartdene Barns was conceived around a simple idea: creating a place where people can enjoy a closer connection to nature without sacrificing comfort, quality or convenience. Set within almost 37 acres of beautiful Kent countryside, the development has been carefully designed to sit comfortably within its surroundings while fostering a genuine sense of community. Residents can enjoy open green spaces, countryside walks and dedicated allotment and wellbeing areas, encouraging a healthier and more rewarding way of life, whilst Cowden Station is a 12 minute (off road) walk or 3 minute drive with free parking. We wanted to create homes that support modern living while embracing the values many people are now seeking, including wellbeing, sustainability, community and a stronger relationship with the natural environment. Whether enjoying the changing seasons from your garden, growing your own produce, exploring the surrounding countryside or simply appreciating the peace and tranquility of the setting, Hartdene Barns offers a lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find. The result is an exclusive collection of homes where thoughtful design, outstanding quality and a remarkable countryside location come together to create a truly special place to live.

This exceptional self-build opportunity is set in a very special location within its own mature gardens and grounds of approximately up to 6.628 acres and includes an important and impressive collection of mature Acers. Approached via a farm lane off the much sought-after Smithers Lane electronically operated gates lead through to a truly delightful scene. To the left a most impressive and mature garden showcasing Acers gently inclines towards the Southern boundary and a lower paddock which could be available by separate negotiation. The driveway sweeps around to the current dwelling house which comprises a single storey bungalow that has planning permission under Tandridge reference TA/2025/1109 to extend to create a most impressive two-storey contemporary home that will truly make the most of such a beautiful setting. Beyond the house to the North and West are paddocks that are currently used for equestrian purposes and the whole has the most delightful aspect with views over glorious rolling countryside that teems with wildlife. Located between the charming villages of Lingfield and Cowden you are blessed with local amenities including the superb Lingfield College as well as stations with services into London within a short drive. A wider range of amenities, shopping and entertainment facilities as well as exceptional schooling are found at nearby East Grinsted, Royal Tunbridge Wells and Edenbridge.
