It is very quiet, peaceful and private with fabulous views. During our time here we have extended the property and completely refurbished and updated the house to provide everything needed for contemporary living. We also created the annex and built the swimming pool as well as planting the vineyard and developed a highly successful winery.

There is also a gothic style church, a village hall with a variety of activities as well as two good pub/restaurants.

We are also only 2.5 miles from the famous Pantiles in Tunbridge Wells as well as the town centre and the station where trains to London Bridge only take 44 minutes.    Tunbridge Wells or, more formally Royal Tunbridge Wells, became a famous spa town in Regency times when it was frequented by the aristocracy who came to take the waters and enjoy the entertainment organised by Beau Nash. Much of this historic town was developed during that time including the Pantiles that now offers a delightful mix of independent shops, bars and restaurants. While the rest of the town includes high street stores, a variety of eateries, individual shops, hair and beauty salons and a number of hotels as well as retail parks.

If your dream home is a lovely oast house surrounded by stunning countryside in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, then look no further than this gorgeous twin oast and barn conversion nestling in 1.19 acres of grounds and with no forward chain. This lovely residence was originally and sympathetically converted in the 1990s to a very high standard by the current owners including the installation of a heat pump, but it also retains many of its original features giving it such a unique character. However, it could be developed further as there is enormous scope to increase the residential accommodation by going into the attic for potential loft conversion subject to building regulations. The oast house is located on the outskirts of Langton Green village in a very rural environment but is less than three miles from the historic Pantiles in Royal Tunbridge Wells. It is approached via a long private drive that leads to a spacious parking area with delightful shrub borders and is where you can begin to appreciate the property’s special charm. With its two oasts, mellow brickwork, traditional weatherboarding, diamond pane windows and French doors as well as an oak framed, pitched roof porch it has delightful external appeal, even before you cross the threshold. The front door opens directly in the characterful and well-proportioned dual aspect kitchen/dining room with its limestone tiled floor that flows through to the utility room, French doors to the rear terrace, a staircase to the first floor and exposed ceiling beams. The country style kitchen was created by London based and globally renowned kitchen designer Clive Christian and includes a three-oven electric Aga, hand crafted painted shaker style units housing with Nero worktops, a Miele fridge freezer and dishwasher, a larder and a bespoke central island/breakfast bar. While the spacious dining area is adjacent to the French doors that open onto a terrace and provides delightful views over the garden and beyond. Beautiful oak panelled doors lead from the kitchen/dining room into the sitting room and to the utility room that are situated in the two roundels. The impressive utility room includes a cloakroom and is designed like a second kitchen with a stove, hand-built wall cabinets and shaker style units with fossil shell worktops created by Chartwell kitchens, space for stand-alone laundry facilities and it also has a useful external door to the garden. The cosy and relaxing dual aspect circular sitting room is a delight with its central ceiling beam and wood flooring and is just the place for a quiet read or to watch television, while the fascinating triple aspect drawing room is ideal for entertaining friends and family. This charming room is accessed from the kitchen/dining room via a pair of French doors and is full of period character with its vertical, wall and ceiling beams as well as a spacious brick-built fireplace incorporating an impressive bressummer style beam and a log burner as well as two sets of French doors to the terraces. The beautiful staircase leads to a large galleried landing with enough room to create a study area, access to the loft and leads to the first-floor accommodation. This includes a family bathroom with a stand-alone claw foot bath and four delightful dual aspect double bedrooms with exposed ceiling beams, fitted cupboards and magnificent views over the garden and the countryside beyond as far as the eye can see. Two of the bedrooms are in the roundels including the principal suite with a stunning ensuite bathroom incorporating a circular bath, a separate shower and an attractive vanity basin. The gardens are another star feature of this very special property and back onto what was originally Groombridge Place. This is now being upgraded and will soon be opening as The Pig at Groombridge, an upmarket hotel and restaurant. There is a large, decked terrace and a gazebo surrounding the heated swimming pool, providing plenty of space for lounging in the sunshine and al fresco dining. There are also delightful specimen and mature trees, a lawn with shrub borders where the kids can play and, in order to be able to follow the sun all day and to enjoy every aspect of the garden, there are additional seating areas. These include another decked terrace with a small ‘jetty’ overlooking the very large wildlife pond framed by weeping willow trees.

I fell in love with the property the minute I saw it advertised and immediately bought it six years ago. It has been the favourite of all my previous homes in a wonderful community. However, life moves on and I am confident that the new owners will get as much enjoyment out of it this wonderful house, the village and the community as I have. It has been a wonderful home for me and my children and the house and patios lends themselves to entertaining friends and family. The individual “zones” provide intimate spaces to relax or and socialise. Memories of the laughter-filled dinner parties, summer garden parties and barbeques, with the music from the piano in the drawing room drifting through the house, will live with me always. I love the quirkiness and history of the property but I have also valued that internally the house has everything you might need for modern day living. The only enhancement I have made was to further extend the drawing patio with steps to an upper level patio and garden. My commute to London for work is relatively quick and the train services from Wadhurst or Tunbridge Wells is reliable and efficient. Parents are spoilt for choice with the many outstanding private schools in and around East Sussex and Tunbridge Wells, which also include some high performing grammar schools. I love the quiet and peaceful environment at the heart of the medieval village of Mayfield. With its thriving independent shops in the high street, which is a place of gathering for the village to celebrate various events such as the annual Bonfire Society parade, an acclaimed international music festival, Spring fair, Passion Play enactment, that bring the community together socially. There is a plethora of attractive and varied medieval and other period properties, with the high street buttressed by the grandeur of the Bishops Palace first built in 1250 on permission from Pope Alexander IV, now the acclaimed Mayfield Convent School for Girl, as well as pubs and restaurants and the historic 13th century church, St Dunstans, Mayfield’s very own saint. It has a variety of sports and social clubs. The delightful shops including a superb deli, baker, butcher, florist, coffee shop, local convenience store and post office. The village is surrounded by vineyards with many producing world-class English sparkling wines, wine and spirits, some of which are available in the outstanding wine shop in the high street. You can get most essentials and many non-essential items in the village but there is also nearby Heathfield and Crowborough with their supermarkets while Tunbridge Wells is less than 10 miles away for more in depth retail therapy and and entertainment.”

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 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. Adjacent to the family bathroom is a large dual aspect double bedroom with far reaching views and direct access to another double bedroom with a wall of fitted cupboards and a basin so could become an excellent dressing room or a pair of bedrooms for kids. There is also a well-proportioned bedroom with an angled box bay window and a guest room with a spa inspired ensuite shower and underfloor heating as well as the principal suite. This calm and peaceful space includes glass fronted fitted cupboards, lovely views over the woodland and a trendy ensuite with a walk-in shower and a pair of contemporary vanity basins. A separate driveway leads to the two garages, one of which is also used as a games room. A high curved wall discreetly separates the forecourt from the swimming pool complex and is bordered  by a terrace, providing an ideal space for lounging in the sunshine. Beyond the conservatory there is a large workshop/garden shed and steps down to another spacious terrace creating a charming area for outdoor entertaining. It leads to well-manicured level lawns and to the rest of the grounds that features an orchard with about 30 fruit trees, a vegetable garden and a greenhouse surrounded by six acres of woodland where children can play hide and seek, make camp or enjoy the charming tree house. 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. The village of Ashurst is only a couple of minutes away and includes a mainline station with commuter access to London, a church and a village hall with a sports ground while it is just over a mile to the good Fordcombe primary school or a little further afield is Speldhurst primary school, rated Outstanding by Ofsted.   It is only about four miles to the historic spa town of Tunbridge Wells which became famous in Regency times when frequented by the aristocracy who came to take the waters and enjoy the entertainment organised by Beau Nash.

The spacious stable block includes three well-maintained stables, a hay store and plenty of space for grooming and tacking up under cover. While it is just a 10-minute walk along Forge Lane to Ashdown Forest for those delightful off-road hacks where you can not only enjoy a ride but also the woodland, the heath and the local wildlife including a wide variety of birds, deer, badgers, weasels, foxes and stoats. You can also come across grazing animals including Exmoor ponies as well as rare breed cattle and sheep. While the stables are impressive the gardens are a delight.

This is bordered by swathes of lawn surrounded by trees, shrubs and high hedging providing privacy and seclusion What the Owner says, This has been a delightful home for us and our horses for the past nine years and we are only leaving because we feel it is time to downsize. We fell in love with the uninterrupted views over Ashdown Forest and the countryside, the charming characterful house and the excellent equestrian facilities including access to the forest. We also enjoy the fact that it is very secluded but, at the same time, it is only a five minute drive to Marks and Spencer and Home Bargains, which provide for our daily needs while we can walk to the lovely Foresters Arms for a drink and a meal in about 10 minutes. Horney Common is a popular destination for nature lovers as it is home to a variety of wildlife. It is about a mile and half from the villages of Maresfield and Nutley and not far from Uckfield.

With regard to private education there are a number of excellent schools in the vicinity including Cumnor House and Mayfield

The first thing that strikes you as you send your way down the driveway past the house is the glorious position in which it sits in an area of outstanding natural beauty. Surrounded by its gardens and paddocks the house enjoys the most delightful views over the valley and up towards the gorgeous hilltop village of Mayfield.   Stepping into the house itself you are greeted by a generous reception hall replete with a large brick fireplace (now fitted with a wood burning stove which has a back-boiler, which heats the hot water and the radiator on the landing on the first floor) with an oak Bressummer above and true to its country heritage an ancient rifle (not included).   The kitchen/breakfast room is the cosy heart of the home with its country style units, classic red Rangemaster, traditional white painted beams and unusual Venetian window. The kitchen has a built-in fridge and separate built-in freezer, and a built-in dishwasher. The front window offers a calming view out past a glorious old sycamore tree and beyond to the paddocks. The French Doors at the rear lead out onto the formal gardens and enjoy from your breakfast table the most delightful and far-reaching views. Step out onto the patio to enjoy the same view al fresco whilst remaining shaded by the charming, tiled roof.   The living room is a more modern addition beautifully in keeping with the style and character of the original farmhouse, retaining all its charm. There is an inglenook-style fireplace with an Aga stove and exposed timbers, and the room benefits from superb natural light from its triple aspect windows, including French Doors opening on to the patio and garden and the fabulous views.   A dining room, study, utility room and cloakroom complete the downstairs space and add plenty of flexibility whether you need two home offices, a playroom/den or separate entertaining space.   Upstairs you are blessed with a principal bedroom with a large en-suite bathroom; a modern must have that is often lacking in period farmhouses. This bright light room with its vaulted ceiling and triple aspect is a beautiful space to retire to at the end of the day. Three further double bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite shower room, and a good size family bathroom makes room for friends and family alike.   That mixture of practicality and charm continues outside with a generous driveway and triple garage with a large storage room over. The brick potting shed (with gardeners’ toilet) and wood store are charming and the wooden Summerhouse on the upper terrace makes the best of the views.   The gardens are truly delightful; well planted around a central lawn with beautiful space in trees to create all year-round interest and summer shade, and there is a charming vegetable area down by the potting shed. The paddocks are easily accessed from the driveway as is the four bay pole barn. The whole is deemed ideal for equestrian use and measuring 3.155 acres in total. What the owner says;  This has been such a beautiful location to live in surrounded by gorgeous rolling countryside and enjoying the delightful gardens and open fields. The views up towards Mayfield are incredible and make living here very special. I have loved creating an idyllic garden with the inspiration of the National trust’s Batemans ( the family home of Rudyard Kipling) just up the road. There iis plenty odf space for a weel stocked vegetable garden and the various outbuildings are incredibly useful. Heathfield Town is just up the road and caters for all your every day needs. Popping up to Royal Tunbridge Wells or down to the coast to visit Hastings, Brighton or Rye, or simply popping out to any number of pretty villages with local pubs and restaurants or up to London on the train gives you so much choice. Whatever you plan to do returning home to such a delightful, peaceful and calming environment is a true blessing

Located on the rural fringes of the highly sought-after village of Horsmonden this stylish modern home offers you that attractive mix of rural life whilst feeling a part of a community. A driveway from the road leads around past the back of this little hamlet of houses to give access to your off-road parking and a detached double garage with a handy storage room over. The house is modern with a sympathetic design that honours the surrounding period homes with elegant touches like a bay window, and brick elevations on the ground floor and tiled elevations and dormer windows on the first. Inside neutral heritage tones engineered wood flooring, wide architraves and Victorian style doors, skirting boards and cornicing nod to period charm whilst double glazed windows and modern fittings provide greater comfort and energy efficiency. The entrance hall opens a study and cloakroom plus a staircase and galleried landing which adds a stylish welcome as well as bringing in plenty of natural light. The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a modern kitchen in an elegant style with a breakfast bar as well as space for a table, an Aga, windows overlooking the rear garden and access to the utility room. The main living space has been extended out into the garden via a charming conservatory from the traditional dining area. The living area has a gorgeous bay window that looks out over the front garden and benefits from a country style fireplace with a chunky oak mantle piece and is fitted with a wood burning stove. The spacious galleried landing provides a lovely open flow to all four double bedrooms including a principal bedroom with en-suite bathroom and built in wardrobes. The second or guest bedroom has an en-suite shower room and built-in wardrobes and the further two bedrooms both enjoy built-in wardrobes and pretty dormer windows- one facing the front and one the rear. Outside a paved patio abuts the rear of the house accessed from the utility room back door or from the conservatory and with a westerly aspect will give you plenty of sun late into the evenings. A good size rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with mature shrubs, trees and bushes whilst the front garden is a decent size and well shielded by a mature front hedge and looks like the ideal spot for a morning coffee.  What the owner says Living in Horsmonden is something I really enjoy because it offers a wonderful balance between village life and convenience. Surrounded by my own gardens, rolling countryside, orchards, woodland and hop gardens, there is a real sense of peace and space here, with beautiful walks and open countryside right on the doorstep. What I particularly love is the strong sense of community. The village centres around The Heath, a traditional green surrounded by characterful buildings, a popular village shop and local pub. Throughout the year there are village events, fairs and community gatherings which create a friendly atmosphere and make it easy to feel part of village life. Despite its rural setting, Horsmonden is remarkably well connected. I can enjoy the tranquillity of the countryside while still being within easy reach of Tunbridge Wells, Cranbrook and Paddock Wood and Marden for shopping, dining, schools and rail services. It feels wonderfully tucked away without being isolated. The area is also ideal for families. There is a genuine sense of neighbours looking out for one another in our hamlet and the village atmosphere provides a safe and welcoming environment. Local schools are well regarded, and there are plenty of opportunities for children to enjoy the outdoors and participate in community activities. Perhaps most importantly, Horsmonden offers a pace of life that is increasingly difficult to find. Whether walking through the countryside, enjoying a coffee in the village, attending a local event or simply appreciating the surroundings, there is a feeling of having escaped the pressures of modern life while still enjoying all the practical benefits of living in a well-connected Kent village.

The position of this delightful, detached period home is quite superb and offers the best of both worlds in that it is tucked away and yet provides good access into the village and to the popular station to London with the additional benefit of backing onto open fields.   A long driveway from the Tonbridge Road leads up hill to the large block paved parking and turning area and a detached double garage and your first glimpse of this delightful home surrounded by gardens that lend a feeling of calm that comes with being far from the madding crowded. A few steps up past a fabulous pond takes you to the terrace which makes the most of its elevated position and affords you far reaching views beyond the village to the distant horizon.   In order to make use of this sunny aspect and delightful view a large conservatory has been added to the front elevation of the house to create a much used and much-loved space for sitting or entertaining whilst maximising the benefit of the view. From here a large reception hall makes a superb study area or reading nook with its pretty bay window, brick fireplace and parquet floor.   A large single storey addition has created a very generous living room, maximising the natural light with its triple aspect and views out over the gardens. The charming kitchen is linked to the dining room via a conservatory that currently serves as a utility area and would make a fine breakfast room. A doorway leads past the wine store to a traditional dining room with a fireplace and pretty side bay window. This is another large room and is ideal for seating large gatherings and makes a superb entertaining space.   Upstairs there are four double bedrooms, two of which are en-suite to shower rooms, with a family bathroom and separate toilet.    A formal garden fronts the property with a large terrace, a pond garden and lawn. A further large lawn wraps around the house and is ideal for garden sports or if you prefer to be left as a natural wildflower garden. To the rear of the house is a pretty little painted brick outbuilding under a pitched tiled roof that has plenty of scope to be your home office, children’s den summerhouse or potting shed.     This has been an amazing house in a brilliant location. We always loved the fact that you come up a long driveway before you get to the house, so you feel like you are so tucked away and as the driveway is uphill you have a lovely, elevated position with superb far-reaching views. Having said that you are perfectly situated for easy access to Hildenborough village, the station with services into London, as well as to Tonbridge Town and Sevenoaks.   The village has two state primary schools, Stocks Green School, and Hildenborough cep school as well as the independent Fosse Bank, and the independent Sackville school. Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells and Sevenoaks offer a brilliant choice of schooling in both the state sector including superb grammar schools like The Judd School and TOGGS, and the private sector including Tonbridge and Sevenoaks schools, Hilden Grange and the schools at Somerhill.

Situated along the extremely popular Ridgeway in Tonbridge is this impressive and extended detached family home. It incorporates an attached two-storey annexe and a separate garden room for use as an office or gym, creating an excellent property for multi-generational and flexible requirements and, although within walking distance of the town centre and the station, when you are in the beautiful and secluded rear garden all you can see are trees, providing a charming, quiet countryside feel. The property is set well back from the road partially hidden from view behind shrubs and bushes. It is approached via a spacious block paved driveway with plenty of off-road parking and leads to the detached, pitched roof double garage and the front porch. This opens into a large reception hall with porcelain tiled flooring, storage and understairs cupboards as well as a useful shower room. There is access to all the ground floor accommodation including the delightful kitchen/breakfast room, designed by HKS kitchens. This features slate tiled flooring with under floor heating, an inset range cooker and extractor hood, bespoke ash wood shaker style units with crystal stone worktops housing a built-in microwave and coffee machine as well as a dishwasher and American style fridge freezer plus plenty of space for a table and chairs. The adjacent boot room/utility room has laundry facilities and a door to the garden. The relaxing colour scheme in the triple aspect sitting room, with the large window and door access to the decked terrace, is complimented by the light oak flooring and enhanced further by the attractive raised fireplace that provides a charming focal point. While friends and family will enjoy more formal entertaining in the well-proportioned dining room with door access to the decked terrace and dark oak flooring. There is also an extremely well fitted study designed for two people to work from home or for family members to do homework and play on their computers. Off the upstairs landing there is a large airing cupboard, two family bathrooms and four double bedrooms including the dual aspect principal with fitted cupboards and a door to a small balcony. There is a separate external entrance to the annex with a glazed front door that opens into a good-sized dual aspect kitchen/living room.

This floor also includes a double bedroom with a fitted wardrobe while on the first floor there is a modern shower room and a double bedroom with a built-in wardrobe and French doors to a Juliette balcony. A cedar clad detached office/gym with sliding patio doors was built in 2020 and makes an excellent retreat or an ideal office for anyone who wants to work undisturbed by activities in the home or for anyone needing to see clients on a regular basis. The rear garden is a real charmer. Surrounded by trees it includes the raised decked and balustraded terrace, a large, paved patio for outdoor entertaining bordered by a spacious lawn interspersed with colourful shrubs.

An attractive and beautifully presented detached family home, occupying a generous corner plot at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac of individual properties. Set within mature, established gardens with a desirable southerly aspect and adjoining Springwood Park, the property enjoys an enviable combination of privacy, space and convenience, while being approximately 2.6 miles from Tonbridge station and High Street. Coming to the market for the first time in 25 years, this much-loved family home offers spacious and versatile accommodation, complemented by beautifully landscaped gardens, a detached double garage and wine cellar. The ground floor accommodation is arranged around a welcoming central entrance hall, featuring a galleried landing, downstairs cloakroom and useful understairs storage. The impressive through lounge enjoys a dual aspect and features a characterful inglenook fireplace with log burner, creating an inviting focal point to the room. Double doors from the entrance hall lead into an elegant separate dining room, providing an ideal setting for both family dining and entertaining. The newly renovated kitchen provides generous preparation and storage space, together with a dual fuel double range oven, integrated appliances and bespoke display cabinetry. The kitchen opens into a well-proportioned home office, which offers excellent flexibility and could equally serve as a playroom, snug or additional breakfast room. A separate utility room provides further practicality, with direct access to the side patio and seating area, as well as convenient access to the detached double garage. To the rear of the property is a bespoke conservatory, thoughtfully designed to complement the original brickwork of the house. Providing additional seating and dining space while overlooking the gardens, it creates a wonderful connection between the home and its attractive surroundings. The galleried first-floor landing leads to four generous double bedrooms, all benefiting from fitted wardrobes, together with a well-appointed four-piece family bathroom. Bedroom two benefits from its own en-suite shower room, while the impressive principal suite has been thoughtfully created by incorporating the original fifth bedroom. This provides a particularly spacious and luxurious retreat, complete with fitted dressing room, private seating area and a newly appointed en-suite shower room. Gardens & Grounds A particular feature of the property is the beautifully established wrap-around garden, which enjoys a desirable southerly aspect and has been carefully landscaped to provide an attractive and secluded outdoor setting. Mature trees, shrubs and well-stocked borders provide excellent privacy, while an orchard area adds further character to the grounds. A bespoke greenhouse from Hartley Botanic, overlooks a substantial koi pond with water feature, creating an attractive focal point within the garden. A central seating area, mature borders and landscaped patio benefit from thoughtfully positioned lighting, allowing the gardens to be enjoyed and appreciated throughout the year. The combination of established planting, entertaining areas and secluded spaces makes the grounds particularly well suited to both family life and outdoor entertaining. To the front of the property is a detached double garage has remotely operated double doors, and useful storage within the pitched roof. The garage also provides access to the property’s wine cellar from Spiral Cellars. The property offers further potential to extend or adapt the existing accommodation, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents. Location The property is conveniently positioned for Tonbridge and the surrounding area, with excellent access to shopping, schools, leisure facilities, transport links and the Kent countryside What the owners say. A wonderful family home and somewhere we have been incredibly fortunate to watch our family grow. One of the things we have always loved most is the sense of space and privacy. Being tucked away at the end of the cul-de-sac, with the garden wrapping around the house and Springwood Park alongside, gives the property a wonderfully peaceful feel. At the same time, Tonbridge is only a short drive away, so we have always felt close to everything we need. The part of the property we will miss most is its southerly aspect as this means there always seems to be somewhere to enjoy the sunshine, whether its spending time on the patio or simply enjoying the changing seasons. In the evenings, the garden lighting completely changes the atmosphere and has made it a lovely space for entertaining family and friends. Inside, the house has evolved with us over the years. The different reception rooms have given us the flexibility we needed as family life changed, while the conservatory has become a particularly enjoyable place to sit and look out over the garden. More recently, we have renovated the kitchen and utility room. There are also plenty of smaller things we have come to appreciate: the inglenook fireplace on a winter evening, having a proper double garage and plenty of storage, the wine cellar, and being able to step outside and enjoy such a mature and private garden. After a quarter of a century, leaving will undoubtedly be bittersweet. It has been a very happy home for us, filled with countless family occasions and memories, and we hope its next owners will enjoy living here every bit as much as we have.

Backing onto glorious countryside next to the High Weald National Landscape (formerly an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) stands this beautifully updated four-bedroom chalet bungalow. It is surrounded by 0.68 acres of ground and includes a heating swimming pool. The property is approached along a spacious drive providing plenty of off-road parking and bordered by a delightful front garden with a lawn, a rose bed and mature trees. The front door opens into a useful lobby and leads to the hallway with oak wood flooring that flows through to the impressive sitting room. This features a charming brick surround log burning stove that provides additional warmth on cold winter days, a very large multi-pane bay window with views over the front garden and it is open plan to a fitted study area with bespoke built in shelving and storage facilities, a separate multi-pane bay window and a staircase to the first floor. However, it is the kitchen/breakfast room that is the ‘heart of the household’. It was redesigned about three years and includes attractive units with high-end appliances such as a five-ring gas hob and extractor, a built-in double oven and microwave as well as an integrated dishwasher and full-height larder fridge while a freezer is in the adjacent utility. In the breakfast area there are patio doors opening out onto the rear terrace, additional storage cabinets and shelving as well as a boiler cupboard. There is a relaxing family room/snug with a very wide archway to the dual aspect dining room that has a door to the terrace and is ideal for more formal entertaining or family celebrations. The rest of the ground floor incorporates a family bathroom, a separate cloakroom and three double bedrooms including one with an ensuite toilet. The smallest bedroom is currently set up as an office with fitted shelving and a day/occasional bed. The delightful principal suite is on the first floor and features a walk-in dressing room as well as bespoke fitted cupboards, a trendy ensuite shower room with a contemporary vanity basin and French doors to a wide balcony with a glass and chrome balustrade. Here you can sit and sip your morning coffee reveling in the stunning views and sun rises across the rear garden and the superb countryside beyond. Outside this property provides something to enjoy wherever you look. There is a spacious terrace for barbecues and outdoor entertaining that continues through an arched pergola and around the heating swimming pool with its attractive pool house. Vast swathes of lawn are ideal for a game of cricket or football and are bordered by specimen trees and plenty of shrubs that provide a colourful display at varying times of the year. You will also find a charming summerhouse with a patio/bistro area, a large vegetable and herb garden, an orchard, fruit cages, a chicken run and bee hives. While solar panels on the roof provide economic water heating, separate PV panels provide electricity and cover the cost of running the swimming pool in the summer.   What the owners say: We bought this property some 19 years ago and it has been delightful. We have loved creating the garden and not only enjoying the swimming pool but also developing the ‘good life’ with our own fruit, chickens and bees. We have also taken great delight in updating the house to be the lovely home you see today. We like the space, the views and the countryside feel yet it is only eight minutes’ walk to the centre of Horsmonden This charming village is surrounded by farmland, orchards and vineyards. It is bordered by the River Teise and includes attractive artificial lakes for fishing and bird watching. There is a large village green, a convenience store, pharmacy and hairdresser as well as a doctor’s surgery, a good primary and kindergarten school and a village hall that offer a variety of activities to suit all age groups while popular pubs and restaurants nearby include The Halfway House and The Hopbine Inn.  We are also in the catchment area for the numerous excellent state and private schools around Cranbrook and in Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells. Regular bus services, including school buses, connect the village with neighbouring towns and schools, providing convenient access for families and commuters alike. They go to Cranbrook, Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge while the nearest station is Paddock Wood where trains can whisk you to Charing Cross in 52 minutes and Cannon Street in 48 minutes or Tonbridge station where the fast train to London Bridge takes just over half an hour.

What the owners say: This impressive four storey country residence forms part of a magnificent Victorian manor house surrounded by half an acre of delightful private gardens in the charming hamlet of Golden Green. It backs onto farmland with far-reaching views across the Medway Valley and is approached through a pair of solid wood automatic gates that open onto a private driveway leading to a spacious parking area is flanked by an avenue of trees and shrubs bordered by a large lawn.  Wonderful external features give this property such a special character including very high chimneystacks, differing roof lines with attractive barge boards, patterned brickwork, pitched roof dormers, bay and windows and an arched entrance. The period features continue internally with high coved ceilings, picture and dado rails, wall panelling and ornate ceiling roses as well as beautiful fireplaces. At the same time the property has been superbly but sensitively updated by the current owners to provide everything needed for modern day living and is beautifully presented and maintained. The front door opens into a long L-shaped hallway with a cloakroom, a stained-glass door to the courtyard, a staircase to the lower ground floor and upper floors as well as Amtico herringbone flooring that flows through to the spacious, modern dual aspect kitchen/breakfast room and hallway. This has views over the courtyard and features a range cooker, a central island and shaker style units housing a fridge freezer, wine fridge and dishwasher, while still leaving plenty of space for a table and chairs. There is a very elegant dual aspect lounge with an attractive bay window, a wood burning stove surrounded by a charming slate fireplace and solid oak flooring that continues into the spacious dining/sitting room. This also includes an attractive sandstone fireplace with a log burner and fitted shelving and is currently in use as a family room/second sitting room. However, it would be ideal for those more formal occasions where you could seat at least a dozen guests. On the lower ground floor, you will find the utility room which comfortably accommodates several large appliances whilst providing essential hanging and drying space. In addition to this there is also a large boiler room and substantial private office with varied and versatile bespoke storage. An L-shaped galleried landing on the split level first floor includes an airing cupboard with access to three double bedrooms and the large stunning family bathroom that all have wonderful countryside views. The bathroom features a modern stand-alone oval bath where you can sit and enjoy the views, a separate double shower and twin basins. One of the bedrooms has a charming original fireplace while the large and well-proportioned principal bedroom is dual aspect and includes a plethora of fitted cupboards as well as a staircase leading up to a superb ensuite dressing room/shower room. While there is access to the rest of the second floor accommodation from the dressing room there is also the main staircase that leads to the second floor landing and a contemporary shower room serving two double bedrooms that provide a panoramic rural vista or could perhaps a bedroom and sitting room for a teenager wanting a little independence and private space. Outside, as well as the courtyard with access to the garage, there is a nearly 19ft long workshop with a pine boarded ceiling, windows, electrics and lighting so could always be converted into a games room/bar or offices for anyone working from home who needs peace and quiet. In order to provide complete privacy and security the beautifully landscaped garden is surrounded by six-foot-high fencing and hornbeam hedging so is completely secure for children and animals. It includes a truly charming and relaxing sunken garden seating area with delightful, raised lily ponds bordered by well-manicured lawns and shrub beds overlooking farmland as well as a large terrace for outdoor entertaining and barbecues.

If the ultimate in unique properties is your idea of home, then look no further than the magnificent Hadlow Tower – or ‘May’s Folly’ as it is less reverently named by the locals. Once part of a Romantic Gothic style 18th century castle, the 175ft eight storey tower stands six foot higher than Nelson’s Column and is visible from Bidborough to Sevenoaks. Having fallen into disrepair and severely damaged in the 1987 storm, it was restored in 2013 at a cost of £4.2 million with grants provided by English Heritage and the Heritage Lottery Fund. Its impressive restoration won multiple Historic England Angel Awards as well as the Lloyd-Webber Angel Award.   Now a fabulous private home it is accessed through the fantastic triple arched and castellated Romantic Gothic entrance on Hadlow village high street. There is a long and winding private road that passes a few individual properties and stunning countryside as far as the eye can see and ultimately leads to the spectacular tower, a parking area and the impressive walled courtyard. This includes additional buildings and a fabulous external window in what was thought to be the original castle entrance. The ancillary buildings have now been converted into six private dwellings and, together with the tower custodian, the owners of these six properties are responsible for the wonderful communal grounds that include sweeping lawns interspersed with impressive specimen trees and a beautiful lake encircled by a plethora of colourful shrubs.   As soon as you see the iconic tower with its octagonal shaped exterior, arched windows, ornate mouldings and fantastic lantern you will almost be transported into a fantasy world and may perhaps wonder why Rapunzel is not looking out of an upstairs window. However once inside, while there are stunning original and historic features, it has been designed as a one-of-a-kind modern family home.   There are three entrances to the tower and the main double height arched front door leads to a lobby with an original brick floor and a fascinating octagonal reception hall with interesting displays, terracotta flooring and, fortunately, a contemporary lift to the first four floors. There is also a utility room, cloakroom, boiler room and boot cupboard, a pair of original oak external doors and access to the main circular staircase and an outer secondary circular stone staircase.   Opening the lift door on the first floor you are immediately confronted by a superb octagonal dining room where guests will be queueing up to be invited to a meal as this characterful room includes full height circle top arched windows providing far reaching views, a beautiful polished wood floor, a unique arched recess and sculptured oak doors that come from the original castle. These open into a small corridor with the main staircase and a second set of old oak doors that lead to the triple aspect kitchen/breakfast room with fantastic stained glass windows that were also rescued from the castle, access to the secondary staircase and shaker style units housing various appliances.   The octagonal drawing room on the next floor is something to behold with its gothic casement windows, polished wood flooring, exposed beams and amazing brick arched fireplace with a log burner but is also cosy enough for the family to enjoy relaxing and spending time together. There are steps down to a double bedroom that also has a charming stained glass window from the castle, lovely views over the grounds, an en suite bathroom and access to the secondary staircase.   You can take the main stone staircase up to a dual aspect double bedroom with a central beam and oak flooring, while oak steps lead to the principal suite with exposed beamed, storage facilities and a contemporary en suite. On the fourth floor there is a fascinating double bedroom with an octagonal inner frame surrounding the bed, an octagonal dressing room with a walk-in wardrobe, oak stairs leading to a superb bathroom and a door to a castellated roof terrace offering excellent views over the surrounding countryside.   The next floor includes a useful study area and external access while open staircases lead to the additional floors. There are original six inch square vertical beams, interesting billboards showcasing the history of the tower and doors to the external castellated parapet with 360 degree views as far as the eye can see. At the very top of the tower is an exact replica of the original lantern that was destroyed during the Great Storm of 1987.   The Tower also owns an area of woodland and grounds beyond the communal lake area and this is basically a blank canvas so new owners can create whatever they like. It includes a large shed that houses the remains of the original lantern that were retained to provide a reference point for the replacement.   What the owner says: This has been a very exciting and unique home that I have been privileged and proud to own for the past few years. I and my family have thoroughly enjoyed our time here in this peaceful and tranquil environment, but my business is taking me abroad so I feel it is time to hand the baton over to new custodians who will appreciate the uniqueness of this amazing place in such an incredible setting.   Although where we are is private and peaceful, Hadlow high street is at the end of the lane. This charming village is in a Conservation area and includes many attractive period properties and a variety of shops, pubs, hairdresser, restaurant, church, library and a medical centre. For the more energetic there are cricket and bowls clubs as well as a good primary school and the renowned Hadlow College of Agriculture and Horticulture that includes the Broadview Gardens complex that has a tearoom and florist and where you can enjoy wandering around the grounds.   Other facilities are available in nearby Tonbridge including excellent grammar and private schools, independent shops and high street stores, pubs, restaurants, a theatre and the station where trains to London take around 30 to 40 minutes. There is the Tonbridge School leisure club while for golfing enthusiasts there are numerous golf clubs and courses within a radius of nine miles around Hadlow including the local Poult Wood Public Golf Centre.   Historical Note: Hadlow Castle was built in the 18th century in the then fashionable Strawberry Hill Gothic style. It was extended in the 19th century and the owner Walter Barton May at the time built the Tower (May’s Folly). Local lore has it that he had it built so he could spy on his estranged wife but it was probably because he wanted to show off his wealth.

Fast and frequent rail services from Sevenoaks Station offer direct links into London Bridge, Cannon Street and Charing Cross, making the property particularly attractive for commuters. Seller Insight    Fir Trees has been a much-loved family home for many years, and from the moment we first arrived, it was the sense of space and calm that drew us in. Set within a wonderfully large plot, with generous gardens to both the front and rear, the house feels private, peaceful and beautifully established — not overlooked, and framed by mature trees, including a magnificent ancient oak that has stood here for centuries. Inside, the house is solidly built, exceptionally spacious, and filled with natural light throughout the day. We have invested significantly in modernising the property, including new carpets, repainting, updated bathrooms, and extensive rewiring, plumbing and lighting upgrades. .    The layout of the house is ideal for family life and entertaining alike. Day to day, one of our favourite things has been waking in the double-aspect bedroom, where the morning sun pours in and the garden feels like an extension of the room. Downstairs, the Mark Wilkinson kitchen is a particular highlight — timeless, elegant and functional for everyday and special occasions. We have hosted countless gatherings over the years, and the welcoming lounge — with its fireplace, space for bookshelves and ample space for family and friends — has always been at the heart of the home. The dining room is equally generous, and both rooms open directly onto the rear patio, creating a seamless flow to the garden. .    The patio and swimming pool have brought us so much joy, especially in summer. We have re-tiled the pool and installed an electric cover, making it safer for children and easier to enjoy year-round. There are also two double garages, incredibly useful for storage and everyday practicality. Fir Trees sits in the heart of Seal, with its charming high street of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and a welcoming pub. The girls’ grammar school is just a short walk away, Trinity School is also within easy reach, and Sevenoaks station is only a 10-minute drive.

£975,000 - £1,075,000 Guide Price. Beautifully proportioned Regency residence. Generous accommodation and exceptional potential. High ceilings and open fireplaces. Five reception rooms. Seven bedrooms. Mature gardens. Highly regarded schooling options. Convenient access to road and rail networks. Fine & Country presents The Limes, a gracious and beautifully proportioned Regency residence offering classical architectural elegance, generous accommodation and exceptional potential, quietly set within its own private grounds in the heart of Wateringbury. Held within the same family for over sixty years, The Limes has been a much loved home, its character shaped by decades of everyday life and quiet celebration. High ceilings, sash windows and balanced proportions reflect a refined era of design, while today presenting a rare opportunity for a new owner to enhance and personalise the house, blending period charm with twenty first century features. The approach is both impressive and welcoming, with a sweeping driveway and broad frontage framed by established planting. Inside, a striking marble tiled hallway creates an immediate sense of arrival and introduces the scale and elegance found throughout the home. From here, five reception rooms enjoy a warm, westerly orientation, each connecting naturally with the garden and drawing in the afternoon and evening light, creating a calm and inviting atmosphere. The large breakfast room sits just off the kitchen and is well suited to everyday family use or more intimate gatherings. The formal dining room and sitting room form an appealing pair, interconnected by imposing oak bifold doors, allowing the spaces to flow together when desired. Both have open fireplaces and French windows opening onto a veranda and the garden. The largest reception room, the drawing room, can accommodate a sizeable gathering of people. It too features an open fireplace, together with a large bay window with French doors opening onto the garden. The conservatory offers a lighter, more informal place to relax, with garden views that change with the seasons. The kitchen represents one of the most exciting opportunities for enhancing the property. Beyond it, a passageway leads to a series of storage rooms, offering scope, subject to the necessary consents, to be thoughtfully incorporated into the main house. Together, these spaces invite the creation of a larger kitchen and family room, perhaps complemented by a utility or boot room, for a layout that reflects modern patterns of living while sitting comfortably within the home's original scale, proportions, and architectural rhythm. A ground floor shower room and cloakroom add everyday convenience, while a substantial cellar below offers excellent storage and further potential. An elegant elliptical staircase rises to the first floor, where there are seven bedrooms, reflecting the generous proportions and adaptability of the house.
