Centre Stable Cottage is a unique four bedroom period home forming part of an attractive converted stable block associated with Fawkham Manor, believed to date back to circa 1860/70, and set within a mature plot in excess of 0.5 acres accessed via a gated private road. Defined by its charming flint and brick façade, the property enjoys a delightful position within a picturesque, cobbled courtyard of just three homes, surrounded by leafy, semi-rural countryside. Although technically link-detached, the connection is via garages only, giving the property a strong sense of privacy and a detached feel. Sympathetically renovated and thoughtfully reconfigured by the current owners, the accommodation blends character features with a practical layout suited to modern living. Entry via the courtyard leads into a welcoming interior where the heart of the home is an open plan kitchen breakfast room flowing seamlessly into the sitting room, creating a sociable and light-filled living space. A separate dining room provides a more formal setting for entertaining, while a further versatile room serves equally well as a study or fourth bedroom. The principal bedroom suite is located on the ground floor and benefits from a dressing room and an en-suite bathroom, offering a comfortable and private retreat. A shower room completes the ground floor arrangement, with two further bedrooms positioned upstairs. Externally, the property is approached via the charming, cobbled courtyard, providing parking and access to the attached garage, which is notably arranged with both front and rear access for added convenience. The established gardens and grounds offer a wonderful sense of space and seclusion, with areas of lawn, mature planting and scope for further landscaping. A substantial detached outbuilding whilst in poor condition presents an exciting opportunity for a variety of uses, whether as a workshop, studio or potential development subject to the necessary planning consents. A rare opportunity to acquire a distinctive home of character in a truly idyllic setting, offering both immediate enjoyment and future potential. The stable block is very likely to have formed part of the working estate infrastructure for Fawkham Manor during the Victorian period, when country houses relied on a full complement of ancillary buildings such as stables, coach houses and tack rooms. The circa 1860/70 date aligns with a time when many estates were either expanded or remodelled, often incorporating durable and locally sourced materials such as flint and brick, which is consistent with the façade seen here. The cobbled courtyard layout is also typical of formal stable yards of that era, designed for both practicality and visual order, allowing carriage access and turning space. Over time, as the reliance on horses declined in the early 20th century, many such buildings became redundant and were later converted, particularly from the late 20th century onwards, into residential dwellings. The fact that Centre Stable Cottage forms one of just three homes suggests a relatively sympathetic and low-density conversion, preserving the original courtyard setting and much of the architectural character. Fawkham remains a small and charming rural parish with deep agricultural roots, and homes connected to former manor estates are rarely available. As such, Centre Stable Cottage enjoys a genuine sense of heritage and exclusivity, forming part of a former Victorian manor estate stable block which is an appealing prospect for buyers seeking a home with both character and provenance. Location    The location in Fawkham offers a desirable semi-rural lifestyle whilst remaining well connected, with nearby Longfield providing everyday amenities including a Waitrose and mainline station with services into London, and easy access to the A2, M25 and M20. The surrounding area is well regarded for its selection of schooling, including sought-after grammar options, and an abundance of countryside walks and bridleways are on the doorstep. Directions    From our Fine & Country North Kent office proceed left along Ash Road. Take third exit off roundabout into Chapel Wood Road and second right into Manor Lane. Turn left into Fawkham Manor Farm and bear right to stay on Fawkham Manor Farm to the property. Seller Insight    “Centre Stable Cottage has been our home for the past six years, and from the very first moment I saw it, I was completely enchanted. The garden felt almost magical - a true chocolate-box cottage.” “During our time here, we have completely modernised the interior. Outside, however, we chose a different approach. The garden was already mature, beautifully designed, and full of life, so we preserved it just as it was intended. With each changing season, different plants emerge as if perfectly orchestrated, and we have taken so much joy in watching it evolve naturally. “The kitchen and lounge area, with its almost double-height ceilings, has always been a true ‘wow’ feature of the home. However, my favourite space is the master bedroom with its en-suite. It feels wonderfully self-contained and is the perfect retreat at the end of the day.” “The garden itself is incredibly private and is surrounded by mature trees. The birdlife here is phenomenal - so much so that we even downloaded an app to track the different species that visit. Being nestled among ancient woodland gives the entire setting an enchanted feel.” .    “It’s been perfect for entertaining. We’ve hosted unforgettable celebrations here, including a marquee party in the garden for my 50th, and we often cook outdoors during the warmer months. In winter, the house becomes especially cosy - Christmas here has always been magical.” “The sense of community is another aspect we’ve truly valued. Set within a private courtyard of just three homes, we have been fortunate to have such kind and welcoming neighbours. The location is also ideal being central to popular neighbouring villages and amenities so plenty to do, within easy reach of London, and just 15 minutes from Bluewater. It is perfectly positioned for access to major routes. I am also a member of Brandshatch Place Hotel & Spa, a health club nearby with a gym, spa, and a lovely social atmosphere.” .    “What I will miss most are our neighbours and, of course, the garden. As we prepare to downsize, we feel incredibly lucky to have called this special place home. Its peaceful, tucked-away position with no passing traffic, creates a calm and tranquillity that so many people remark upon. It’s easy to forget just how rare that is. We will truly miss it, especially knowing how much love and care we have poured into making it what it is today.” Entrance Hall    Panelled semi-glazed door to front.

Seller Insight    “Attwood Place has been our home for the past twenty nine years. From the very first moment we stepped inside, there was an undeniable welcoming spirit and the beautiful inglenook fireplace sealed our decision. As a Grade II listed property dating back to 1703, it carries with it a rich heritage. We even had the privilege of celebrating its 300th anniversary here, hosting a wonderful party to mark the occasion.” “During our time here, we have been careful to modernise while preserving its charm. We added a garage in the traditional Kent barn style, blending practicality with character and a new roof in 2014. In the sitting room we introduced an additional window to flood the space with light - a lengthy process, but well worth the effort. We also installed a fireplace with a solid wooden beam, in keeping with the style. In the main bedroom we added a walk-in wardrobe and an en-suite bathroom. We also purchased extra land to extend the garden.” .    “The house is full of beautiful features - exposed beams, many of which were reclaimed from old ships, each carrying its own story. My favourite spaces are the sitting room and dining room, both cosy and perfect for welcoming guests. The layout is unusual, with no passageways - each room flows into the next, making it ideal for entertaining. We are a sociable family, and friends have always loved visiting. In the winter, gatherings are held indoors by the fire, and in the summer, we entertain in the garden or by the swimming pool.” “The garden and orchard are wonderfully private, offering apples, plums, pears, blackberries, gooseberries, and even apricots.” The village hall has offered cinema nights, children’s parties, church and fund raising events, fitness classes including pilates and yoga. It’s a place that brings people together in the local community. We are also fortunate to have one pub which is very sociable. All amenities are within easy reach.” “What we will miss most when we leave is the sense of space, the privacy, and above all, the joy of entertaining family and friends here over the years. Attwood Place has been incredibly kind to us, and we have always considered ourselves its custodians. We hope that whoever makes it their home next will love it just as much as we have.” Entrance Hall    Period door to front. Carpet. Plain ceiling. Stairs to lower landing.

Seller Insight    “Highlands Cottage has been our cherished home for 37 years. When we first began our search for a family home all those years ago, we were determined to find somewhere special - somewhere with character and an ideal location that offered an easy commute into the city. After three long years of searching, we walked into Highlands Cottage and simply knew it was the one. It felt right. The lady before us had been part of a family who had lived here for generations.” “Over the years, we have lovingly restored and maintained the cottage, learning as we went - especially as it is Grade II listed. We’ve always enjoyed the home, and gradually, as our very young family grew, we poured our hearts into every room. It has truly been a fabulous family experience. .    “There isn’t a single room we don’t love. The cottage has evolved with us through every stage of life. As our children grew, the layout adapted - dining rooms became extra TV reception rooms etc. and every corner of our home holds so many special memories.” “The garden is private, sunny, and full of life. Over the years, I planted and nurtured 55 award-winning roses - it’s now one of my greatest passions. Wildlife is part of everyday life here - birds gather in the evenings, butterflies are a common sight in the warmer months, and some of our fondest memories are of my children and then all my grandchildren riding around the garden with me on the sit-on lawnmower. It’s those little moments that have made living here so special. “Highlands Cottage has also been a wonderful home for entertaining. From summer BBQs to family celebrations and even business gatherings, the space lends itself beautifully to hosting.” .    “The village community is truly special. We’ve enjoyed annual barbecues, fêtes, and fireworks, and benefitted from excellent local schools, including top grammar options. With two beautiful pubs and a new home development nearby, that has been built in keeping with the village’s traditional charm. It offers the best of both worlds - just a short distance from London, yet nestled in such peaceful, secluded surroundings.” “What will we miss the most? Everything. This home has given us decades of happiness. We’ve raised our children here and watched our grandchildren thrive within its walls and garden. It has been a privilege to live in such a warm, beautiful, and welcoming home. The only reason we are moving is to downsize - otherwise, we would never leave. It is, quite simply, the perfect family home.” Entrance Hall 21'11 x 11'3 (6.68m x 3.43m). Panelled period style door to front with leaded light effect window. Carpet. Plain coved ceiling.

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.

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.
