Sometimes it's just nice to stay somewhere all shiny and new. This freshly converted farm cottage is one of a pair on a 500 acre private estate. Right in the heart of the Kent countryside, it's the kind of place people come to read books, go for long, rambling walks and try a pint or two of local beer on a country pub stop. The home is modern and pristine, with character touches like wood floors, rustic doors and exposed beams upstairs. It's been laid out with accessibility in mind, with the master bedroom on the ground floor and an en suite wetroom fitted with grab rails. Outside there's a private terrace, enclosed with natural hurdle fencing made from trees on the estate itself. Nearby is the picture-perfect village of Chiddingstone (so ancient and important that its owned by the National Trust) and Bough Beech Reservoir. Travel a little further and you'll come to Hever Castle, Penshurst Place and the spa town of Tunbridge Wells.

About Royal Tunbridge Wells
Tunbridge Wells once had a reputation for being a bit stuffy. Happily, what was caused by a few grumpy letters to a newspaper nearly a century ago has been put behind it. A vibrant, affluent town, it’s far from being stuck in the past. As well as the more modern shopping precinct at the top end of town, if you take a walk along its historic colonnade – The Pantiles...
