Surrounded by nature and defined by calm, space, and light, the property has been thoughtfully designed for those seeking a refined yet minimalist lifestyle, where modern luxury exists in harmony with the landscape, yet with day-to-day amenities and commuter links easily accessible. Once an Atcost Barn, this grain store has been beautifully reimagined into a contemporary home of striking architectural simplicity. Expanses of glass frame uninterrupted views of the woodland, creating a constant visual connection to the outdoors and allowing natural light to pour into the living spaces throughout the day.

A striking central staircase rises in two directions, enhancing both the symmetry and architectural interest of the interior, while reinforcing the sense of thoughtful design that runs throughout the home.

To the left of the entrance hall sit three ground floor bedrooms, all with ensuites, perfect for guest requiring accessibility or visitors with young children, wanting to enjoy social time but with an ear out for the little ones.

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.

Down a leafy lane on the outskirts of Pembury, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, you will find this charming Grade II Listed country property. As its origins are believed to be in the 16th century with later Victorian additions, the house is full of period character with delightful external and internal features including wooden casement and sash windows, exposed beams, chimneystacks and original fireplaces. However, it has been sensitively updated to provide excellent modern day facilities including contemporary bathrooms, an updated kitchen and even a cinema. Nestling in the midst of about 0.75 acres of delightful grounds, the farmhouse is approached via a driveway flanked by beech hedging that leads to the fascinating detached double garage and a pathway to the charming pitched roof porch and period front door. This opens into the hallway with its modern tiled floor and a staircase down to the cinema and the first floor. Just inside the front door is a study with a Victorian fireplace flanked by built in drawers and shelving. It has lovely views over the front garden and the orchards beyond to give you inspiration while you work and is conveniently located for easy access to business visitors. Alternatively, this would make an excellent dining room for more formal occasions. The stunning dual aspect sitting room with its beautiful oak flooring is nearly 30ft long and is really a room of two halves. There is the elegant Victorian part with a fireplace and a useful storage cupboard and the characterful cosy area in the older part of the house with exposed beams and a superb inglenook fireplace with a Bressumer beam and a log burning stove. This has direct access to the equally spacious and delightful kitchen/breakfast/dining room with oak flooring. The kitchen/breakfast area is again in the older part of the property with its exposed beams and casement window. It includes a central island/breakfast bar, an electric Aga and attractive painted Shaker style units with granite worktops housing a built in microwave, an integrated wine cooler and dishwasher as well as space for an American fridge freezer. While the light and bright dining area provides a much more contemporary almost garden room feel with a wall of windows overlooking the garden and French doors with full height side windows opening onto a spacious terrace. It includes a built in banquette style seating on two sides and provides room for a large dining table as well as oak stairs to the principal bedroom suite . There is a door to a cloakroom and the fitted utility room that has space for laundry facilities and a stable door to the garden. In the basement there is an excellent cinema room created by the current owners and includes the equipment that is available to purchase by separate negotiation. On the first floor the L-shaped landing leads to the family bathroom, a separate shower room and four double bedrooms that all have fitted cupboards while three of them also have fireplaces. The dual aspect principal suite, accessed via an oak turned staircase from the dining area, includes a vaulted ceiling and exposed beams, delightful views over the garden and anensuite bathroom that has a stand-alone painted bath with claw feet and a separate shower. At the end of the rear garden there is an attractive garden room with lighting and electrics, wood flooring and bi-fold doors.

The garage includes a side store room and plenty of additional storage on the first floor. The front garden features a large lawn area with mature shrubs while the south-facing rear garden is surrounded by trees and incorporates a spacious terrace for outdoor entertaining. This leads to a path bordered by a lawn and shrub beds as well as steps up to a sweeping level lawn interspersed with mature trees and shrubs and hedging that creates individual areas. The level lawn is a great space for children and dogs to play in. It is also ideal for a game of croquet or it could become a tennis court, while there is even space to create a swimming pool, subject to planning permission.

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 also a large reception room with a curved glass extension that is currently in use as a ‘snug’ and is ideal for the kids to have their own space.The excellent dual aspect kitchen/breakfast room is more than 29ft long with sufficient room for a large breakfast table and chairs for informal family meals. It includes a range cooker, a store cupboard and charming white units housing an upmarket American fridge freezer and stand-alone appliances. 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.

Notably contemporary Located within the south Leicestershire village of Cosby, this house sitting on a third of an acre of ground, has been redesigned to maximise its potential. Containing over 3,000 square feet of interior space, it easily fulfils contemporary expectations for a bespoke executive property. Originally constructed during the 1940s, it has been the project of the present homeowner for ten years, with a complete renovation and extension beginning in October 2020 and a total rewiring in 2023. The resulting transformation is an outstanding detached house that along with many other features, provides three reception rooms, a spacious kitchen and breakfast diner, and a ground floor guest suite with five large double bedrooms across the first floor.Established residential area The house is located within a quiet residential area of similarly unique, characterful properties and benefits from little traffic by being atop a cul de sac. Kerb appeal is immediate. It is fronted by an open plan arrangement of paving, discreet planting and a wide drive that winds to the front and side. It is undoubtably a statement property. Characterful features include an intersecting and overlaid hip and valley roof, with dormer windows and an impressive apex window. Anthracite window frames and white rendered walls create expectations of a modern interior, as everything about the exterior-including the new roof complete with replacement fascia, soffits and guttering- establishes the impression of sharp, clean structural lines. This is enforced by the symmetry of the open weather porch, shielding a composite front door, and matched with a pair of translucent glass panels. Vehicular access is unhindered and there is ample parking. An integral single garage is immediately to the right of the property and access to the main house can be gained from here, through a downstairs washroom. The garage is equipped with overhead lighting, a store cupboard and power. The tour of the ground floor The house has been totally renovated and enlarged to prioritise light, airiness and space. From the first step across the threshold, the interior structural elements and decoration speak of an intrinsic simplicity and beauty through the choice of textures, fixtures and fittings. This is a generous property that reflects minimalism, great design and decisions made with high quality as standard. The residence is in every way, uncluttered. Unhindered lines of sight and a neutral colour palette, provide an interior décor that is the blueprint for free flow contemporary living, and the central point of convergence, is the entrance hall. The hall’s stunning apex window and vaulted ceiling is a major feature. It adds warmth, light and a volume of overhead space that encourages the visitor to look upwards to appreciate the white balustraded, carpeted staircase and gallery. This executive home has been renovated with an exacting level of detail and attention to the fixtures and fittings. The property is coordinated throughout with matching doors, skirting boards, switches and LED ambient lighting. Fitted blinds cover most windows and most can be operated with a remote control. In the hall there are deep set windows on each side of the entrance.Optimised open plan living The open plan kitchen diner is to the right and measures nearly a third of the internal downstairs area. Covered in large porcelain floor tiles, it is an extensive light-filled room with dual aspects, and incorporates many stylish features, seamlessly running from one purposed space to another. Beginning with the breakfast room, the window has a front aspect. It is presently used as an informal sitting area but however it is used, it is within sight and easy conversation of those in the kitchen. The versatility of this space is an asset. Beyond, the kitchen is amply fitted with soft closing wall and floor non-handle units, an expanse of work top across one wall and a central island with sink and three built in USB points. A large lantern sky light allows light to flood into the food preparation area and onto the integrated appliances including a microwave cooker, separate AEG oven, food warming drawer, wine coolers, a fridge freezer, an induction hob with extraction and a Quooker tap. Two large, fitted pullout waste drawers, a dishwasher, plus large under counter storage cupboards, complete the fully fitted kitchen which was recently installed in 2023. The central island, also houses room for stools, and who would not want to sit in such a wonderful room and admire the views through the bi-folding doors? They fold back to allow the raised terrace to become an extension of the room. This is ideal for entertaining and provides immediate access to the landscaped, private garden.A landscaped garden The garden is a continuation of the open plan scheme. It is a secluded, well-maintained garden and incorporates terracing, shrubbery, planted beds, hedges and trees. A sheltered summer house and green house with raised beds provide interest for keen gardeners, while a large, grassed area is perfect for children to play safely. It is by clever and practical design that these lovely outdoor areas are seamlessly linked to optimise space for maximum functionality, whether for everyday living or those special entertaining occasions. Reception rooms The pantry and utility room are to the right of the kitchen. With additional storage, work top and sink, space is available for a washing machine and vented tumble drier. The utility room has access to the garden and is next door to a room presently used as a study. It has two windows looking into the rear garden. Leaving this room and walking back into the kitchen, a boot room is discreetly located in the hall and then a hallway links the remaining ground floor reception rooms and guest suite. Both reception rooms are spacious, easily cater for different arrangements of furniture and have patio doors opening to the terrace. The sitting room is particularly bright, as it also has two large picture windows. It is carpeted and fitted with coordinating blinds and curtains. Likewise, the lounge has curtains. This room has a wood effect laminate flooring and a large fireplace, displaying a slate hearth, oak mantel and black gas fire. The reception rooms share an internal window.The guest suite and first floor bedrooms Before ascending to the first floor, the ground floor has a valuable asset that has yet to be investigated. A large, carpeted bedroom, with separate bathroom. These en-suite facilities consist of a walk-in shower, toilet, bidet, sink unit and stand-alone roll top bath.

East Midlands Airport (EMB) and Birmingham Airport (BHX) are the closest airports. Cosby or ‘Cassebi’ was first recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 but given that the Fosse Way bounds the parish to the north, it may well have been a settlement in earlier times, having a notable stream running through it. St Michael’s and All Angels parish church dates from the fourteenth century and the village centre has a selection of buildings including a cruck-framed barn, that combine to mark the centuries that have passed, including the present development of homes. The original settlement from the was based around the open fields system of agriculture predating the Norman Conquest. In 1767 the Enclosure Act forced the predominantly farming community to become invested with industrial economics, namely framework knitting, and then boot and shoe manufacture. Today, the bustling village has a summer Yarn Bomb event that recalls its heritage links and brings many visitors. Although it has existed for centuries, this large village continues to appeal to the community through a wide selection of sport, education and leisure amenities, including an array of shops, a library, cafes (including a popular fish and chip shop) and parks and Golf course.

The property forms part of a rich rural heritage, in the company of other period homes and barn conversions, all built around the 15th-century village church — a timeless setting that has evolved gracefully through the centuries.Once owned by the Bickford family, a name long associated with local prosperity, the estate bears a proud connection to William Bickford, inventor of the pioneering Safety Fuse in 1831 — a creation that transformed the mining industry by drastically improving safety of the miners.Many of the home’s original architectural features remain beautifully preserved, including granite pillars and fireplaces, and an exquisite plank-and-muntin screen, each echoing the craftsmanship of a bygone age.The surrounding landscape tells its own story. Just down the lane, The Dartmoor Halfway Inn recalls a time when farmers transporting livestock to coastal market ports would rest overnight — drawn by the fertile land and natural wells that sustained travellers and animals alike. Today, gazing across the rolling fields, it is easy to imagine the scene centuries ago — animals grazing on the same rich pasture and the enduring rhythm of rural Devon life continuing much as it always has.STEP INSIDEGranite pillars herald the entrance to Bickington Barton, inviting you into a home where history and character are woven into every detail. Upon entering, the reception room immediately impresses, featuring a large fireplace, wooden flooring, and a window overlooking the picturesque garden, complete with fitted wooden shutters.

The property also includes a boot room, with a range of units, ideal as kitchen overspill plus access to the rear courtyard so ideal for bringing in dirty boots and pets. A cloakroom adds convenience with attractive tiled flooring linking to the boot room.Ascending to the upper floors, the property offers six generously proportioned bedrooms, arranged around a split-level landing that reflects the home’s historic character.The main bedroom is a particularly impressive space, once likely two separate rooms, now offering a spacious retreat complete with a modern ensuite, dressing room, and breathtaking views across the surrounding Devon countryside.Five of the bedrooms enjoy stunning vistas, with windows overlooking the front and side of the house and the sweeping landscape beyond. To the rear of the house is a highly versatile space easily serving as a self-contained annex, with a large bedroom, adjoining sitting space, ensuite bathroom, and a private entrance from the courtyard, ideal for guests, extended family, or potential rental use.

We wanted something that felt truly remote — surrounded by countryside and nature — yet still close enough to everyday life. Here, we found that perfect balance. The house is just minutes from everything — the moors, the coast, and nearby towns — yet when you arrive, it feels as though you’re miles from anywhere.As a family, we needed to be near good schools and local amenities, and honestly, we didn’t think we’d find somewhere that offered both practicality and seclusion. Then we found Bickington Barton — and it changed everything. It’s so quiet and private, and the setting has given us a lifestyle we only ever dreamed of.We always wanted to try our hand at a smallholding, especially while the children were young enough to enjoy it, and this property gave us the confidence to do just that. It’s given us all a new lease of life — fresh air, space, and the joy of living in tune with the land.We adore the character and history of the house. It’s incredible to think of the generations who have lived here before us, and the many centuries of stories within these walls. Every quirky feature — from the granite pillars to the old plank-and-muntin screen — adds to its charm, and we’ve loved every single one of them.As the children grew, the space here has been a blessing — everyone has room to spread out without ever feeling on top of each other. The bedroom at the rear has been ideal for visiting family and later became a perfect space for our eldest son, giving him independence while still keeping him close.Outside there are no limitations, life flows easily between swimming in the pool during summer, lounging or working in the garden, or tending to the animals year-round. Living here has brought us such a healthy, balanced way of life, and we’ll always be grateful for the years we’ve spent as part of this incredible home’s story. Now, it’s time for someone else to fall in love with Bickington Barton and make their own story.”STEP OUTSIDEThe front of Bickington Barton is approached via a private driveway, offering ample parking and a five-bar gate leading to the yard.

After more than a year of searching for the right place, we were drawn to Ilsington, a village that felt just right from the very beginning. Ilsington is a rare gem. It’s wonderfully peaceful, yet far from remote. Just a short distance to the open wilds of Dartmoor and within easy reach of the South Devon coast, it offers the best of both worlds. Being only 10 minutes’ drive to the A38, we had quick access to major road and rail routes which was essential for work. Ilsington gave us the perfect balance between practicality whilst still living in the countryside. We are part of such a welcoming community with excellent amenities — a friendly village shop; run by locals, a lovely pub, primary school, tennis court and sports ground, all within walking distance. And the Ilsington hotel and spa is only a stone’s throw away, where we swim most days. There’s a genuine sense of belonging here, with local events, friendly neighbours, and a slower pace that encourages you to stop, chat, and enjoy life a little more. I still remember the morning I saw the For Sale board outside the house whilst driving through the village. We’d been searching for such a long time so I called the agent and viewed the property that afternoon. At the time, the house needed a little love, but it was full of light, had a wonderful flow, and just felt right. Since then, we’ve made it our own and created countless memories; we’ve hosted big family celebrations for milestone birthdays; with music on the terrace and had big family Christmases: some of our best memories made are the quiet days at home, games in the garden, countryside walks, board games in the living room, the kids doing their homework at the dining table.The garden wraps around the house, with sunshine at every time of day, and the stables have been brilliant for storing all our stuff from bikes to lawnmowers. It’s been an ideal home for us and a peaceful one too, where you can hear the birds and truly enjoy the stillness. Now that our children have grown up and moved away, it’s time for us to turn the page and move on to the next chapter in our lives. This home, and this village, have given us so much — we hope it does the same for its next owners.”
