If it looks brand spanking new, that's because it is. One of a pair of freshly converted farm cottages, this home been given a new lease of life. It's part of a five-hundred-acre private estate which focuses on sustainability, with an organic dairy farm and an environmental education centre on site. Inside, there's an open living space with a log burner and our favourite feature – the bespoke country kitchen. A private terrace provides a sunny spot for sitting out on nice days, and there are country walks in every direction, with great pubs to visit along the way. All within a short drive, you can visit Chiddingstone Castle for afternoon tea, Hever Castle for a lesson in Tudor history or Tunbridge Wells for a spot of lunch.
