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.

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.
