SELLERS INSIGHT “We came across this plot almost by chance. The house that was here at the time was not at all what we had been looking for — in fact, we very nearly didn’t view it. But as soon as we came up the driveway, we could see the vision. We knew there was an opportunity here to create something truly exceptional. The views were unlike anything we had seen before. They were completely captivating, and we knew straight away that if we let this go, we may never find another setting quite like it. That became the starting point for everything we went on to create. When we rebuilt the house, we had a very clear objective: to make the absolute most of the views. Every decision was centred around the outlook, the light and the way the house would connect with its surroundings. We wanted open-plan living, generous indoor and outdoor spaces, and a home that was substantial enough to entertain properly, but still felt comfortable and enjoyable every day. It really was the opportunity to create our dream home. The cinema room was something we had always wanted, and it has completely changed the way we experience film and television — we use it every day. The wine tasting room was also particularly important to us, especially given my line of work, and it has been wonderful to have a space designed specifically for that purpose. What we love is that the house fulfils every need we could ever have. It is incredibly private, beautifully light and has so many luxury finishes that make day-to-day life feel effortless. The Lutron lighting system, for example, means each room can be set to suit the mood, whether we are entertaining, relaxing, watching a film or enjoying dinner with friends. Although we wanted the house to feel luxurious, we were also very conscious of making it efficient and economical to run. With the solar panels and the EPC B rating, we feel we achieved that balance, creating a substantial home that also works practically. Our lives are now taking us to a different part of the world, otherwise we would never consider leaving. This has been our dream home in every sense — the privacy, the views, the light, the entertaining spaces and the lifestyle it offers are things we know would be almost impossible to recreate” STEP INSIDE From the moment you enter The Headlands, the architectural calibre of the home is immediately apparent. The entrance hall is quite spectacular, with floor-to-ceiling glazing, an impressive ceiling height and a striking staircase rising to the first floor, while a further staircase leads down to the lower ground level. Far more than simply a place of arrival, this is a room in its own right — dramatic, light-filled and designed to offer an immediate glimpse of the quality, scale and style that continues throughout the home. The crisp white décor, grey tiled flooring and feature slate wall create a sophisticated contrast, setting the tone for the contemporary interiors. As you move through into the sitting room, the proportions of the house become even more impressive. This is an exceptional principal reception space, with an expansive wall of glazing and a further wall of sliding doors framing panoramic views across the coastline. A feature double-sided fireplace creates both warmth and architectural interest, linking the sitting room effortlessly with the adjoining dining room. The dining area continues the feeling of openness and connection to the sea, with double-aspect bifold doors opening onto the sun terrace, which wraps around the principal living spaces on three sides. This clever design allows the interiors to flow naturally outwards, creating a wonderful sense of inside-outside living and making the most of the home’s elevated coastal setting. From here, the space opens into the kitchen — a beautifully designed, contemporary room fitted with premium NEFF appliances, sleek cabinetry and a striking central island. The island stands prominently at the heart of the room, framed by extensive storage and work surfaces, while breakfast bar seating provides a relaxed and informal place to gather. Further bifold doors open directly onto the expansive terrace and outdoor kitchen, complete with barbecue and pizza oven. With its stone walls, greenery and modern tiled flooring, this is a superb entertaining space, equally suited to relaxed family living or hosting on a grander scale. Throughout the main living spaces, garden, bedroom suites, cinema room and wine tasting room, a state-of-the-art Lutron lighting system provides a range of ambience settings, allowing each space to be tailored to the mood and occasion. Integrated ceiling speakers further enhance the home’s entertaining credentials, extending through the main reception areas, wine tasting room, first floor bedroom suites and terrace. Accessed from the kitchen, terrace and hallway is a fully functional bar — a stylish and practical addition to the entertaining space — with an adjoining cloakroom and server room housing the specialist equipment for the cinema room. The cinema itself has been designed to deliver the ultimate home viewing experience, with two rows of four reclining cinema chairs, a 144” specialist screen, JVC UHD projector and a comprehensive surround sound system via a Lyngdorf theatre system made by Steinway. It is an exceptional private cinema, perfectly in keeping with the luxury and technical sophistication found throughout this remarkable home. LOWER GROUND FLOOR The lower ground floor has been designed with the same attention to detail as the principal living spaces, providing a highly practical yet beautifully finished area of the home. Here, the more functional elements have been cleverly positioned away from the main entertaining spaces, allowing day-to-day household requirements to be managed discreetly without compromising the elegance and flow of the living accommodation above. A large and exceptionally useful laundry room provides excellent working space and storage, while also incorporating a cloakroom and a generous shower area. This is a thoughtful and practical addition, ideal for returning from the beach, boating, walking or simply managing family life with ease. The wine cellar is a particular highlight, having been specifically designed for the storage and presentation of fine wines. More than simply a practical cellar, this is a dedicated wine tasting space, created with a sense of occasion and entirely in keeping with the grandeur and lifestyle offering of the wider home. From here, the accommodation leads through to a boot room, currently arranged as a gym. With ample storage, the boiler and water cylinder discreetly housed within this area, and an external door providing independent access, this lower ground level offers notable flexibility. Subject to any necessary consents, there may be potential to utilise this area as self-contained accommodation, making it well suited to those considering annexe potential, guest use or a more independent arrangement for extended family. Also positioned on this level is a lobby giving access to the integral double garage, further enhancing the convenience and practicality of this impressive coastal residence. FIRST FLOOR The bedroom accommodation continues the home’s clear theme of luxury, scale and considered design. A light-filled landing, with delicate glass balustrades overlooking the impressive entrance hall below, creates a wonderful sense of openness and architectural drama, while leading through to four of the six bedrooms. There are two principal bedroom suites on this level, both beautifully appointed and designed to take full advantage of the home’s elevated position. Each suite includes a dressing room leading through to an elegant en suite bathroom, creating a private and refined retreat. Both also enjoy direct access onto the balcony, allowing the views across the grounds, surrounding landscape and out towards the sea to be appreciated from the moment the day begins. A further bedroom on this floor benefits from its own en suite shower room and is currently arranged as an office, making it a particularly impressive workspace with the added advantage of a private balcony. Another bedroom enjoys views over the garden and has access to the adjacent bathroom, which is a real signature suite in its own right — beautifully finished and entirely in keeping with the quality found throughout the bathrooms on this level. From the landing, a door opens directly to the upper garden patio, where a hot tub is set within decking and complemented by an outdoor shower. It is a cleverly positioned lifestyle space, offering a private place to relax while continuing the home’s strong connection between inside and outside living. A final staircase rises to the upper level, where there are two further double bedrooms, both with their own en suite facilities. This arrangement provides excellent flexibility for family, guests or extended stays, ensuring each bedroom feels private, comfortable and beautifully considered. STEP OUTSIDE The sense of privacy and arrival at The Headlands is immediate. Electric gates open to reveal a sweeping driveway which ascends towards the house, the property itself discreetly hidden from the road. With each turn, there is a growing sense of intrigue and anticipation, passing the boat store and detached studio before arriving at the main residence, where ample parking awaits. Every element of the outside space has been carefully considered to complement the architecture, maximise the elevated coastal outlook and create a series of distinct areas for relaxing, entertaining and enjoying the peaceful setting. Lighting has been thoughtfully positioned throughout the grounds, providing both practicality and atmosphere as day turns to evening. The principal ground floor terrace wraps from the entrance door around the eastern and southern aspects of the house, offering a collection of seating and entertaining areas designed to follow the sun as it moves around the building. Discreet glass balustrades enclose the terrace, preserving safety and definition without interrupting the panoramic views across the surrounding landscape and out towards the sea. On the southern side, the terrace flows onto a further patio. This creates an effortless connection between the main house and the wider amenities of the property, reinforcing the sense that each space has been designed with purpose and ease of use in mind. Steps also rise to the first floor patio, where a sunken hot tub is set within decking, complemented by an area of lawn. This space links beautifully back to the first floor balcony serving the principal bedroom suites, creating a private and luxurious retreat from which to enjoy the surroundings. The established landscaped grounds frame the plot with a range of attractive, low-maintenance shrubs, softening the contemporary lines of the house while allowing the views and architecture to remain the focus. Further steps rise to the highest point of the garden, where a dedicated seating area takes full advantage of the sunny aspect and spectacular elevated views — a fitting vantage point from which to appreciate the scale, privacy and beauty of this exceptional coastal home.

There is something immediately compelling about Ragstone House. Approached through the quiet hamlet of Pilsgate, just outside Stamford, it combines the mellow character of a traditional limestone home with the scale, finish and versatility more often associated with a contemporary country house. Behind its handsome stone elevations lies a property that has been comprehensively transformed by the current owners, creating a home that is both deeply practical and undeniably luxurious. Originally formed from four workers' cottages owned by the Burghley Estate, the oldest parts of the house are believed to date back to the mid-1800s. In the 1960s, the cottages were combined into a single dwelling by an architect who wrote for Ideal Home magazine, with the property subsequently featured in the publication following its conversion. Today, that rich architectural evolution remains evident throughout the house, where exposed stone walls, substantial timber beams and traditional proportions sit comfortably alongside crisp contemporary finishes and thoughtfully designed open-plan spaces. For the current owners, Ragstone House stood apart immediately. Its size and proportions, proximity to Stamford and excellent independent schooling, and the opportunity to undertake a full renovation all proved irresistible. They were drawn not simply to the property itself, but to the chance to create a long-term family home tailored entirely to their own tastes and way of life. What followed was an extensive programme of improvement and modernisation that has fundamentally elevated the house while remaining sympathetic to its origins. Conservation approved casement windows were installed in 2019, and in 2021 and 2022 the owners temporarily vacated the property while a comprehensive back-to-brick refurbishment was undertaken. The works included complete rewiring and replumbing, upgraded insulation, replacement joists where required and the installation of a new three-phase electricity supply. At the same time, a substantial triple garage with office and shower room above was constructed, significantly enhancing the flexibility of the property. The result is a house that feels exceptionally cohesive. The interiors have been finished to an incredibly high standard. In the communal spaces, a calm, neutral palette has been used, creating a light and airy atmosphere throughout while allowing the building's original features to take centre stage. In other areas, stronger colours really highlight the various features of the property. Natural timber has been carefully exposed wherever possible, lending warmth and texture to the spaces. Downstairs, elegant flagstone flooring from Stamford Stone runs through much of the ground floor, complemented by oak flooring in the reception room and snug, all benefiting from underfloor heating. Upstairs, the landing features oak parquet flooring, while the bedrooms are finished in soft neutral carpets that contribute to the sense of comfort and understated luxury. At the heart of the home is the impressive open-plan kitchen and dining space. Beautifully designed for both day-to-day family life and larger-scale entertaining, it balances practicality with striking aesthetics. Dark cabinetry, warm timber surfaces and stone flooring create a sophisticated yet welcoming feel, while the substantial central copper island naturally draws people together. The adjoining dining area is flooded with light from dramatic glazing overlooking the garden, creating a seamless connection between inside and out. It is easy to understand why the owners spend much of their time here. They describe the kitchen as the social centre of the house, somewhere friends and family naturally gather, whether for relaxed evenings or larger celebrations. The sense of flow between the kitchen, dining area and garden makes the house particularly well suited to entertaining. Equally inviting is the reception room, where exposed stonework, deeply textured timber beams and a substantial fireplace create a wonderfully atmospheric space. The owners particularly enjoy relaxing here beside the log burner during the colder months, and despite the scale of the property, there is a genuine sense of warmth and comfort throughout. Additional flexible rooms provide options for a snug, study, playroom or home working space, allowing the house to adapt easily to changing family needs. Upstairs, five well-proportioned bedrooms provide generous and versatile accommodation. The principal suite is especially impressive, while the bathrooms throughout the house have been finished to an exceptional standard, combining high-quality fittings with elegant, timeless styling. Every element feels carefully considered, continuing the restrained and cohesive design language seen across the property. Externally, Ragstone House is equally impressive. A large paved forecourt provides extensive parking and leads to the triple garage block, above which sits a substantial open-plan room complete with shower facilities. Whether used as a gym, studio, office, showroom or additional workspace, it offers significant flexibility for modern living. The gardens have been designed to provide both privacy and enjoyment. Mature trees and established planting create a wonderfully secluded setting, while the swimming pool and hot tub (available by separate negotiation) transform the property during the summer months. The owners describe the atmosphere as being akin to a holiday at home, particularly on warm sunny days when friends and family gather around the pool and terrace for parties and long evenings outdoors. What makes Ragstone House particularly special is its versatility. Despite its generous proportions, it remains an extremely comfortable and liveable family home, with a variety of spaces that allow both togetherness and privacy. Whether hosting large social occasions, relaxing quietly by the fire or enjoying the garden in summer, the house adapts effortlessly to every season and occasion. The location has also played a significant role in the owners' enjoyment of the property. Pilsgate offers an appealing balance between peaceful rural living and excellent accessibility. Stamford is only a short distance away, making evenings out and day-to-day amenities easily accessible, while the surrounding countryside provides wonderful walking opportunities. The owners particularly valued the proximity to schools. Their daughter was able to cycle safely into Stamford using the footpath network, giving her a sense of independence, while school transport for Oakham School conveniently stops just outside the house. The nearby Millstone Inn in Barnack is within walking distance and has become a favourite local destination, while sporting facilities including tennis clubs at Barnack and Ketton add further appeal to the area. After eight years at Ragstone House, the owners speak about the property with enormous affection. They describe having poured their hearts into the house, creating a home that reflects both their personalities and tastes. It is clear that every improvement has been made with care, consideration and a genuine appreciation for the building itself. Ragstone House is therefore far more than simply a beautifully renovated period property. It is a home where historic character and modern living have been brought together with exceptional success, creating a sophisticated yet welcoming country residence in one of the area's most desirable settings.

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.

The principal bedroom suite is a standout feature—generous in proportion and designed as a private retreat. Sliding doors lead directly onto the patio, while fitted wardrobes and a spacious en-suite complete the suite.

On the upper floor, set back from the road, three further double bedrooms are arranged within their own wing, away from the principal suite; offering privacy for family or guests.

A large summerhouse with electricity provides excellent flexibility—perfect as a home office, studio or retreat—completing a garden that is as versatile as it is inviting, and perfectly suited to both quiet enjoyment and entertaining on a larger scale. SELLERS INSIGHT “When we bought the house over 20 years ago, we never looked back. We knew we wanted to be close to the sea and within an established, executive road, and whilst we viewed other properties with perhaps more immediate kerb appeal, we instantly fell in love with the space and feel of Villa Nova. It’s a home that is incredibly bright, easy to maintain, and has adapted effortlessly to every stage of our lives. The lift has provided us with ease of living and the property has been fully accessible even with a wheelchair. When the family come to stay, there is more than enough room for everyone, yet it feels equally comfortable for just two—particularly in more recent years, where being able to live predominantly on one level has been such a benefit. One of the things we have loved most is the connection to the outside. Having access to the garden and terraces from so many rooms is a real joy—it allows you to truly live both inside and out, whether that’s enjoying a quiet morning coffee or hosting family and friends in the warmer months. The location has been equally special. From coastal walks and nearby shops to the ease of accessing further afield, it offers the perfect balance of lifestyle and convenience. We are moving to be closer to family, but we leave with a house full of memories and feel very fortunate to have called this our home for so many years.”

PLEASE NOTE In our opinion, the layout of accommodation at Nutwood would easily adapt to provide a self-contained annex. OUTSIDE Nutwood stands within private, mature gardens and grounds extending to approximately 2 acres. The property is accessed through electric gates, with a sweeping driveway leading to a forecourt providing off road parking for number vehicles. Positioned to the side of the property is a generous detached garage with workshop space to the rear. There is also a further gated parking area, providing additional parking, perfect for a horsebox, trailer or larger vehicles. To the rear of the property are large lawned gardens, showcasing a variety of mature trees and perfect for an active family lifestyle. Beyond the gardens is a fenced paddock, ideal for accommodating a pony, or as an extension to the garden for children or pets to enjoy. The paddock can be accessed from an additional entrance separate to the garden. KINOULTON The property is situated on the edge of Kinoulton, being a highly regarded south Nottinghamshire village. The village has a strong local community and benefits from a village pub, a primary school and village church. Further amenities can be found in the village of Hickling which has a recently opened farm shop and the larger villages of Keyworth, Cotgrave and Cropwell Bishop are a short drive away, all of which offers shopping facilities for day-to-day life. Kinoulton is extremely well located for the commuter with ease of access to the region’s commercial and retail centres and the A46 being easily accessible which opens to the larger cities of Nottingham, Leicester and Lincoln. For those needing to travel further afield Newark and Grantham train stations are within easy reach connecting to the City of London and East Midlands Airport is also approximately a 30 minute drive.
