House with terrace Tonbridge (United Kingdom)
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.

House with garden Royal Tunbridge Wells (United Kingdom)
What the owners say:We bought this unusual property some 37 years ago as we were instantly attracted to the quiet location right in the centre of Tunbridge Wells yet completely off road and we have been very happy here. The house is hidden behind a cul-de-sac so it is very safe for kids and pets. However it is now time for us to downsize although we shall continue to live in the area as it is so delightful. While we have been here we purchased two of our neighbours’ gardens allowing us to remove a tall wall that was taking a lot of light and gave us space to build the annex for elderly family members.The location is perfect for walking to the nearby Calverley and Dunorlan Parks and it is only a half mile stroll to the station and the town centre.

House with garden and terrace Tunbridge Wells (United Kingdom)
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.

House Royal Tunbridge Wells (United Kingdom)
What the owners say: We love this beautiful house as it is in such a special location so close to the station, the Pantiles and excellent local schools including the popular Claremont primary which can be seen from the house and is the only location that is ‘definitely’ in the catchment area. It is also quiet and peaceful with no road noise, it being situated on the bend of Poona Road, away from main arterial routes and, because it is a private road, it is very secure for both children and pets. The verge outside the house is partially owned by the property and represents a fun gathering place for the road’s community to gather and have a bonfire of for the children to play safely. We have designed the interior to be luxurious and individual but still practical including the underfloor heating system that can be controlled from your phone and thermostatically control each room independently. Even the two Velux windows in the kitchen can be controlled from your phone and include rain sensors so they automatically shut. As the house was originally built in 1837 we felt strongly that it should be restored to its former glory and have paid attention to every single detail with no expense spared. As a result it has been given the highest accolade by the town’s ‘Civic Society,’ which looks out for excellence in development and conversion and was awarded by the Mayor. This house has been a wonderful place to live with a real community feel but also being detached with its own off road parking area has also been a godsend, giving us the best of both worlds. We have poured our heart and soul into every part of the design and, while we have loved living here, it’s now ready for someone new to enjoy it and the close-knit local community where we have made many friends. 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 famous Pantiles that now offers a delightful mix of independent shops, bars and restaurants, including the number one rated ‘Boutique’ in the UK, while the rest of the town also includes high street stores, a variety of excellent eateries, individual shops, hair and beauty salons and a number of luxury and boutique hotels as well as retail parks and a station with trains that will get you to London within an hour. With regard to education there are a number of primary and secondary schools rated Outstanding by Ofsted including St Peters’ C of E primary and the Bennett Memorial Diocesan School, the St Gregory’s Catholic School and Tunbridge Wells Girls Grammar School. You will also find excellent private schools in the area including Rosehill, The Mead, Holmewood House and Beechwood prep and secondary school as well as the famous Tonbridge School founded in 1553. Additional entertainment facilities include a nine-screen Odeon cinema, the Trinity theatre, the wellrespected Assembly Theatre and exhibitions in the Amelia Scott cultural centre. For sports enthusiasts there are a variety of sports facilities available including the Neville golf club, cricket, football and rugby clubs as well as the indoor sports and a swimming pool while the tennis club is one of the oldest in the country with 21 courts including 8 grass courts. Sprint and summer brings plenty of festivals for adults and children alike. One not to be missed is the ‘Jazz on the Pantiles’ where people can enjoy al fresco dining while listening to some of the best live music in the Southeast while eating a range of wonderful food at the same time.

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.

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.

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.

Property with garden Crowborough (United Kingdom)
If living the rural idyll is your ultimate dream, this beautiful converted oast house and attached barn could be the answer. Located in a small enclave of converted farm buildings towards the end of a private lane, this characterful family home nestles in circa 7.5 acres of grounds and a paddock, surrounded by farmland and the countryside in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Sweeping through the entrance to a very spacious driveway bordered by lawn you have your first view of this superb residence with its roundel oast and cowl and attractive barn. The drive leads to a charming oak framed three vehicle garage with a pitched roof and dormer windows and incorporates a first floor studio/gym while another pitched roof building includes two stables, a hay store and a tractor shed. The stone section of the main building is believed to have originally been built around 1780 with the brick barn and roundel being constructed around 1880. Reminders of the origins of the property can be seen in the charming period features that include a plethora of exposed beams. These can be found in many of the rooms including the conveniently located dual aspect office that is just inside the front door and immediately accessed from the hallway where you will find a corridor with storage cupboards and a downstairs WC, washbasin and shower room. The doors throughout the house are solid oak. There is a dual aspect snug with a raft of fitted bookshelves and a Jotul log burner you can cosy up to on a cool winter’s evening, while the elegant light and bright triple aspect circular living room in the oast features a charming brick surround fireplace with a wood mantel as a focal point. It also has a door to the terrace with full height side windows providing extensive views across the garden and beyond. A spacious dining room is just the place for those more formal supper parties and Christmas celebrations and, for ease of catering, it has direct access to the large, modern but country style kitchen/breakfast room. This is designed for anyone who enjoys entertaining and is the ‘hub of the household.’ It includes Spanish marble flooring, a four oven Aga, Farrow and Ball painted shaker style units with blue pearl granite worktops housing a built in oven and combi microwave, a dishwasher and an American style fridge freezer. There is a large central island/breakfast bar with a gas hob and French doors to the impressive pitched roof conservatory with French doors to the terrace. This light and spacious room makes an excellent additional seating and dining area. Adjacent to the kitchen is a utility room and stairs down to the amazing large wine cellar with a wall of wine storage facilities - so just the place to store your favourite Bordeaux or bubbly. Beyond the snug at the other end of the property on the ground floor you will find a double bedroom and ensuite bathroom that is ideal as a separate guest room. Alternatively this room and the snug could make an ideal annex for family members. The rest of the sleeping quarters are on the first and second floor. On the first floor there is a fascinating landing with a vaulted and beamed ceiling with access to two family bathrooms with baths and separate showers and four double bedrooms including a circular triple aspect room in the roundel. While on the second floor there is another vaulted and beamed ceiling landing, including a small study area, with an arched entrance to a triple aspect circular double bedroom in the roundel with spectacular far reaching rural views. Outside there is a large sandstone terrace for outdoor entertaining that is bordered by swathes of lawn large enough for a game of badminton or croquet and is interspersed with beautiful trees and shrubs and leads to a charming lake and a wrought iron gate that opens into the large paddock. The perimeter of the grounds includes high trees and stock fencing while much of the garden is surrounded by close board fences, 2m fencing and nearer to the house there is high-quality estate fencing to keep the deer out of the garden. What the Owner Says: We moved here nearly 30 years ago with our four small children and had the joy and privilege of being able to complete and enhance the conversation of the oast and barn. It has really been a rural paradise and we shall be very sad to leave but, as the children have now all flown the nest, it is time for us to downsize. We shall have very happy memories of our time here, of when the children were young and enjoyed playing hide and seek in the woodland areas, riding their ponies in the paddock and entertaining friends and family. We even hosted two weddings in the paddock, among other events, and the caterers were delighted to have access to such a lovely kitchen in which to prepare the food. The oast is located halfway along what is reputed to be the longest bridlepath in East Sussex. There are numerous public footpaths close at hand, plus the benefit that as neighbours of Penns Estate, (adjoining the property) it is possible to obtain a six-month walking or riding permit, subject to the agreement of the Estate Office, giving miles of countryside walks for those keen to explore the area further. It is very quiet, peaceful and secluded and much of the time the only sounds you hear are bird songs or the occasional stag call, in season. The grounds and garden are truly ‘wildlife central’ and are filled with a wide variety of feathered friends and furry animals. In the garden there are several unusual trees and shrubs which we planted over the years, plus a small orchard of mixed apple varieties. Pear, quince, currants and gooseberries add to the flavours available. Despite the distinctly rural tranquillity of the location, it is only a couple of miles to Crowborough, which is the largest and highest inland town in East Sussex with delightful historical buildings. It includes Waitrose and other supermarkets, a selection of independent shops, a community cinema and a variety of pubs and eateries. There are recreation grounds such as Goldsmiths with its swimming pool, boating lake and miniature railway as well as golf, tennis and football clubs and annual events such as the Guy Fawkes Night celebration and a carnival as well as a Christmas and summer fair. A dry ski slope is available at Bowles Outdoor Centre in Eridge and rock climbing close by. While you can go sailing and enjoy other water sports at Bewl Water and riding and walking in nearby Ashdown Forest. There are also a number of good primary schools in the town and the local Beacon Academy secondary school is rated Outstanding by Ofsted, as is Uckfield College. The mainline station at Crowborough has trains to London Bridge that take just over an hour while trains from Tunbridge Wells can be in London Bridge in 44 minutes. There is also an excellent road network with the A26 close by for access to the A21/M25.

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.Cloakroom 4'11 x 3'3 (1.5m x 1m).
