Immaculately refurbished to the highest standard, the house has been thoughtfully restored for contemporary family living while celebrating the craftsmanship and character of its period origins. From the moment you step inside, the scale and elegance are unmistakable. The stately entrance and inner halls form the heart of the home, rising dramatically to a double-height gallery above.

The house occupies an elevated position on Holwood Hill, commanding far reaching southerly views across rolling countryside. Two areas of woodland frame the property, creating a natural avenue and a picturesque vista. Ground Floor: - The principal reception rooms flow beautifully from the central halls, each designed to make the most of the breathtaking southerly views across the estate. The music hall is a particular highlight, with its elegant proportions and panoramic outlook over rolling parkland. The drawing room, dining room, games room and kitchen/breakfast room all enjoy generous sash windows and French doors, bathing the interiors in natural light and creating a wonderful connection to the grounds beyond. At the centre of family life sits the magnificent Clive Christian kitchen. With a dramatic double-height ceiling and expansive roof lights, it is both striking and supremely practical. A library mezzanine overlooks part of the breakfast area, creating a relaxed yet refined space for reading or quiet work. From here, the house opens effortlessly into the family room, which in turn leads directly into the newly refurbished swimming pool complex and annexe, perfect for year-round entertaining. Beneath the house, the substantial cellar offers yet more lifestyle flexibility. A large central entertaining space, referred to as the Shisha Lounge, is complemented by two gyms and newly installed communications, boiler and heating systems as well as a generous laundry room. The ground floor is completed by a private study, Champagne bar/Snooker room, four car garage, cloakroom, powder room and a fully insulated cinema room with surround sound for evenings at home.

Gardens And Grounds - The setting of Holwood House is truly extraordinary. The approach winds gently through landscaped parkland originally sculpted by Decimus Burton, immediately instilling a sense of arrival and privacy. The house occupies an elevated position on Holwood Hill, commanding far-reaching southerly views across rolling countryside. 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 rear, the estate includes a secondary drive, tennis court, walled garden and an elegant garden pavilion to the west. 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. Holwood House is not simply a home; it is a private estate of rare beauty and historical importance, offering a lifestyle defined by space, privacy, elegance and connection to both countryside and city.

Seller Insight “When we first discovered the property, it was the setting that captured our hearts: the generous space, total privacy, and the rare privilege of direct access into the forest. We’re close to the beach, the train station, Exeter and the M5 all within easy reach, yet it feels like a peaceful world of its own. The house itself was calling out to be loved. It was tired and neglected, full of potential and character. It needed us and we’ve poured care, time, and joy into bringing it back to life. Nearly seven years on, it sings quite literally, alongside the birds that now fill the garden and forest. This home is so much more than bricks and mortar, it’s a way of life. Winter evenings in the hot tub under a frosty, star-filled sky; log fires crackling in the lounge or dining room while we gather for Christmas dinner and quiet mornings with a cup of tea under the holly tree, watching deer wander through the woods. We’ve loved growing our own fruit and vegetables, collecting fresh eggs, and enjoying the company of visiting wildlife including dormice, hedgehogs, foxes, deer, even the occasional pheasant casually strolling past the potting shed. The garden is alive with birdsong and bees, dragonflies flitting over the pond, and the comforting scent of roses as you arrive home. There are memories in every corner: summer days on the deck with family and friends, autumn evenings around the brazier, sports days and hide-and-seek in the garden, breakfasts with Vincent the vole and Peter the pigeon outside the window. The cellar has been a calming retreat for crafts and exercise, while the summerhouse has hosted many happy guests. We’ve enjoyed the balance of countryside and community, with dog walks at the beach, trips with the grandchildren to Haldon Forest Park, and lunches at nearby Kenton Park Estate or Powderham Castle. We’ve always said that Big Friendly Lodge gives you space — space to think, to grow, to be. Whether you want quiet or company, projects or peace, this house welcomes it all. It’s a home that adapts to you. Why are we leaving? Simply because it’s time. We’re getting older, and we want to pass this beautiful home on while it’s still full of life and in great condition, with a happy heart and ready for its next chapter.”* * These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property.

Bedford House sits proudly as an end of terrace residence on Brighton’s iconic Marine Parade. With sweeping views across the English Channel, this exceptional home marries Regency splendour with modern convenience. A luxury cinema room, a sun filled south facing courtyard and a sea facing balcony are complemented by off street parking, secured behind an electric gate. The property also includes a glamorous three bedroom apartment on the lower ground floor, providing superb guest accommodation or the option to rent independently. Standing within the East Cliff conservation area, Bedford House has a rich and colourful history. The house was built around 1810 (potentially for the Duke of Bedford) and later became home to the painter Cecil D’Oyly John (a favourite of the Queen Mother), the playwright Sir Terence Rattigan and more recently the theatrical agent Roger Hancock. Many celebrity friends of these previous owners including Vivien Leigh, Margaret Leighton and Laurence Olivier were welcomed here. Rattigan’s previous ownership is commemorated by a Regency Society blue plaque. A detailed narrative of the rich history of this stunning sea-side home, meticulously compiled by the current owner is available on request. Upon arrival to the raised ground floor, great care has been taken to honour and preserve the character shaped by its influential occupants. The reclaimed sweeping staircase, installed in the 1960s by Sir Terence Rattigan to impress his famous guests with a dramatic entrance, remains the striking centrepiece. From here, the reception room opens through a grand archway, with natural light pouring through tall windows set above oak stained panelling. This enormous space is still made wonderfully inviting and cosy thanks to the clever mixture of, the Chesneys wood burning stove set within the white carrarra marble fireplace, the cast iron radiators all then complimented with Brinton Tartan carpet throughout. To the other side of the house, the handmade real wood kitchen and breakfast room achieves the perfect balance of modern design and period charm. An Everhot electric range offers three ovens alongside induction and a traditional iron griddle, while high specification Miele appliances include a steam combi oven, microwave, two fridges, two freezers and a dishwasher. No expense has been spared, with walnut drawers seamlessly matching the bespoke solid walnut table and the walnut engineered flooring. Bespoke cabinetry by Woodworks of Brighton speaks to the meticulous attention the owners have poured into every detail, ensuring day to day living feels effortless while entertaining remains truly impressive. A particularly rare and delightful feature is the sliding curved wooden sash shutters within the bay. Discreetly positioned on this level, the guest WC continues the theme of considered luxury with Verde Guatemala Marble, original Drummond fittings and Lefroy Brooks lighting. On the first floor, the grand drawing room is a showpiece of period craftsmanship, set against a breathtaking backdrop of sea and sky. Ornate plaster cast ceilings are enhanced with gilded accents, while a beautiful open marble fireplace sits beneath the elegant proportions. The luxurious Teak wooden flooring is complimented by the floor to ceiling windows which open onto a wrought iron balcony, creating a room that is both dramatic and serene. Much of the wood panelling was reclaimed from a 1720s country house by previous owners who transformed the property between 1967 and 1988. Their restoration included employing a gilder for a full month to decorate the plasterwork and sourcing the working marble fireplace from the ballroom of the Cadbury family’s London house. Adorning the walls are four paintings by the celebrated artist and former owner Cecil D’Oyly John (Sold subject to separate negotiation) Across the hallway, the tranquil study offers a quiet retreat and a fantastic space for calm and creativity. The bookcases which frame the original Georgian fireplace and cover the opposite wall were installed in Rattigan’s ownership, a room where he likely spent many hours in creative thought writing amongst other things his play “Man and Boy” which is currently playing at the National Theatre in London. A bust of Sir Terence Rattigan will remain in place, offering a fitting connection to the home’s remarkable past. The principal suite enjoys captivating views of the beach and sea, with luxury designer wallpaper by Timorous Beasties bringing a playful elegance to the space. A dedicated dressing room offers extensive storage, finished with hand painted, solid wood wardrobes and walnut drawer interiors. For added practicality, a washing machine and tumble dryer are neatly incorporated, set on concrete plinths to minimise sound and vibration – a modern luxury in a period home! The ensuite is finished to an exceptionally high standard with a Lusso stone bath, toilet and basin, Lefroy Brooks lighting finished with surrounds of gorgeous Spanish black marble, which is streaked with a stunning mass of white lines. Rising to the second floor, the west wing holds the Margaret Leighton Suite, named in tribute to Rattigan’s muse. He originally created a pink ensuite for her, and the current owners have honoured this history by updating the bathroom with underfloor heating, a marble mosaic tiled floor and a drench style shower. A signed photograph of Margaret Leighton will remain with the home. On the third floor, the final bedroom was historically two rooms but has been reconfigured to create a generous guest suite. With a substantial walk-in wardrobe and a private ensuite, visitors are afforded both comfort and privacy in equal measure. Two loft spaces offer plenty of storage. Descending to the lower ground floor you will find a particularly special art-deco inspired three double bedroom, two bathroom apartment.

Electric curtains open to reveal the large TV, wired with surround sound, it offers a true cinematic experience for both film and television.

The whole floor has been extensively renovated to include tanking to the cinema room, soundproofed bedroom ceilings, new heating and electrics, new windows and its own separate hot water tank. The only part of this level that isn’t art deco is the eye-catching kitchen, which has repurposed some of the 1950’s cabinetry previously used for the main kitchen above. The English Rose aluminium design has been skilfully restored, updated, and carefully remodelled to now fit this level. Former owners Roger and Annie Hancock, Roger being the brother of comedian Tony Hancock and a theatrical agent representing the likes of Spike Milligan, Frankie Howard, Peter Sellers, created the first cinema room here, complete with a projector suspended from the ceiling, further celebrating the home’s longstanding connection to the arts.

Built in the traditional local manner with Lakeland stone elevations under a slated roof, it is set in private and well-kept grounds of around an acre. Commanding an excellent and truly enviable position that is gently elevated it basks in a delightful and sunny west facing aspect with breathtaking views over the gardens and the River Brathay towards Wetherlam, Black Fell and the surrounding Lakeland countryside.  This substantial residence boasts fine period features and immense character throughout, with seven generously proportioned ensuite bedrooms and four striking reception rooms. The property has been extensively and meticulously refurbished by the current owner to create a most magnificent family home with the additional benefit of a self-contained one-bedroom apartment to the lower ground floor, the ideal addition to the main residence, whether for guests or staff.  In every sense this is an absolute gem, a prestigious Lakeland residence in a secluded setting and a prime location.  A rare opportunity indeed. Location Offering an exceptionally private and secluded setting, this is an enviable and extremely sought after location, within walking distance of the ever popular and bustling town of Ambleside. Popular with residents and holiday makers alike, the picturesque town boasts an abundance of cafés, restaurants and a wide range of independent shops as well as strong provision of local amenities. From the doorstep there are a plethora of walks around the Lakeland countryside and just a short drive away is the stunning scenery of the dramatic peaks of the Langdale Valley. Step inside  An attractive open porch with slate seating either side is perfect for donning boots ahead of your next outdoor adventure.  The glazed front door leads into a vestibule which in turn opens into the impressive entrance hall, setting the tone for the rest of this imposing residence. The cloakroom provides plenty of space for coats and boots with a loo and wash hand basin.  The spacious sitting room is positioned to the front of the property, the bay window enjoying fabulous river and garden views. Set within a mahogany mantle with a marble hearth is an open fire with an inset electric fire.  Beautifully proportioned, the dining room also commands excellent views over the river and towards Wetherlam with the additional benefit of external access onto the veranda and outside seating terrace. If you were enticed by the idea of more contemporary open plan living then there’s potential (subject to the necessary consents) to open the dining room into the kitchen to create a large sociable dual aspect living kitchen.  As it stands, the attractive kitchen is well equipped with cabinets and has a traditional double Belfast sink and a practical breakfast seating area. Appliance wise is a Rangemaster cooker, integrated Bosch dishwasher and a microwave. A useful addition, the traditional pantry provides ample storage. The rear hall has a secondary staircase to the first floor and a larder cupboard with external access. The striking conservatory offers lovely views over the garden, with exposed stone wall, internal raised beds and French doors opening to the garden terrace. The games room is a very versatile space having scope to be a ground floor bedroom with ensuite shower room if required for less mobile family members of guests or if you were looking to future proof the house for yourselves. The study is spacious and bright having a useful built in storage cupboard.  The basement is an excellent addition to this family home, providing a self-contained one-bedroom apartment for either guests to enjoy a degree of independence or for staff to be close at hand. It benefits from its own private entrance, but also has an internal door from the main residence. Accommodation comprises a double bedroom, shower room, cloakroom and an open plan living kitchen. The plant room is also located on this floor housing the boiler and cylinders. The grand original pitch pine staircase rises to a split-level landing passing a large stained-glass window on the way. In total there are seven double bedrooms laid out over two floors (five are on the first floor and two on the second floor), all have the benefit of an ensuite shower room. The principal rooms enjoy wonderful Lakeland views over the garden and river to the fells beyond. There is also a large family bathroom to the first floor with a spa bath, separate shower unit, wash basin and loo. The laundry area is spacious and practically located with a good range of fitted units, plumbing for a washing machine and space for a tumble dryer. The second floor has magnificent views over the Brathay valley and beyond; this floor could be redesigned to accommodate a stunning master bedroom suite spanning the entire floor. Step outside Set back off the road and offering a rare degree of seclusion for such a central Lakeland location, Grey Friar Lodge is approached through electric gates to a long sweeping tarmacadam drive with strategically placed external lighting. The drive leads to a large parking area next to the house.  Encompassing this prominent period property are manicured grounds with neatly tended lawns, well established shrubs and hedges. Amounting to around an acre, the generous outside space offers something for all the family; an adventure playground for children and a haven for relaxation for the grown-ups with an elevated west facing seating terrace having an attractive veranda, the perfect place to relax with a glass of wine in the evening watching the sun setting over the river and the distant hills.  Purposefully designed to be relatively low maintenance, those with green fingers will spot the opportunity to landscape further and create additional beds, possibly a kitchen garden or orchard. There are two spacious stone outbuildings with power and light, as well as a useful outside lavatory with wash hand basin.  Services Mains electricity and water. Oil fired central heating.
