This enchanting home is perfect for large family groups. The home is split between the main house – which sleeps ten – and a cosy cottage for two, ideal for a couple seeking a touch more privacy. There are plenty of quiet corners for moments of peace on this 15th-century estate, with excellent walks to enjoy right from your front door – your four-legged friends will love it here. The heated swimming pool and tennis court mean there’s lots to keep little ones entertained, too. 

Charing Charm

This peaceful haven offers beautiful views and the perfect setting for a restorative retreat in the North Downs. Nestled within a small country estate, you can relax in the private garden, savour long soaks in the hot tub and follow hiking trails through the surrounding meadows. Inside, the rooms have been designed to inspire a wonderful sense of well-being. From the Scandinavian design and the woodburning stove to the luxurious freestanding bath and the range of extra services, you’ll find it easy to settle in and make it your own. It’s also family-friendly with a bunk bed room for children and plenty to explore in the surroundings. From here, it’s just a short drive to Canterbury and the coastal towns of Folkestone and Hythe.

The Garden in Bloom

As refined and attractive a home as you're likely to see, this single-storey apartment is a wing of a Grade II Gothic mansion. But what makes it truly unique is that it faces the ruins of an ancient Franciscan abbey that's of such historical importance it's been granted Scheduled Monument status. Set in the home's grounds, the abbey dates from 1285 and it's quite a sight to wake up to each morning.

Inside, the home is beautifully detailed, with character features like a meticulously restored original fireplace with log burner in the living room, Gothic plasterwork, ornate cornice to the high ceilings and stone mullion windows. Decorated in a classical country residence style, there's a Chesterfield to lounge upon, a vintage dining table and chairs, and an antique writing table. But it also boasts some tasteful modern touches, like the emperor-size bed with a cashmere and wool mattress and 800 thread count linen in the master bedroom, the stylish marble bathrooms, the cosy double bed and built-in bunkbed in the second bedroom. Comfortable and warm, it's a real home from home, with a well kitted-out kitchen (including a basket of local produce) and unbeatable views framed by tall windows.

With its own private and fully enclosed garden and a wood-fired hot tub, you'll no doubt be spending much of your time outdoors, and there's a table and chairs plus a barbecue for meals alfresco. But the village pub is only a short walk away and the charming medieval town of Rye, bursting with pubs, shops and restaurants, is just a few minutes by car. Explore Winchelsea’s cellar tours, 13th century church with stunning stained glass windows, farm shop, pub, and vineyard wine tours hosted by a neighbour of the home. Keen walkers can hike across the marshes, while beach lovers will be in their element – Winchelsea beach is just down the road, while both Rye Harbour and the famous dunes of Camber Sands are a short drive. You're also only two hours from London.

The Friar's Monument

You’ll find this well-kept apartment in the heart of historic Rye, where cobbled lanes are flanked by medieval, half-timbered houses and hidden side streets give way to distant views across Rodney Marsh. You are mere footsteps from a number of traditional pubs, contemporary restaurants serving farm-to-table produce and just a ten-minute stroll to the Rye Castle Museum. If you’re feeling up to it, you can reach Camber Sands in just over an hour by foot or a ten-minute drive in the car. Back at home, a living space that’s equal parts stylish and cosy calls for cups of tea in front of the fire. And when it’s time to head for the land of nod, an inviting bedroom finished in soothing coastal tones awaits. 

Between Land and Sea

A gorgeous “chocolate box” thatch cottage nestled in rolling Kent countryside, this home looks like it's been pulled straight out of a fairy tale – complete with charming 15th-century beams, opulent furnishings, and brightly coloured flower beds.  

However, don’t let its rustic charms fool you, this cottage is delightfully cosy and luxurious. Start your day dining in the conservatory while you observe the beautiful gardens outside. However, although you're peacefully secluded, you’re still within range of sights aplenty. 

Shop at beautiful market town Tenterden, which is known as the Jewel of the Weald, and is only a ten-minute drive away. Or reconnect with nature at the wild Romney Marshes, less than twenty minutes away by car. Meanwhile, you can taste wines at the vineyard Gusbourne Estate – less than ten minutes away on foot 

And when you retreat back home, languish in the glowing hot tub, which is elevated to help you take in even more of those beautiful sunsets. Inside, you can settle back in the electric reclining sofa with a glass of local wine and a good book.




Neptune & Rose

Taking up the two floors of a Victorian townhouse, this home has a lovely view of Deal Castle out through the window. Inside, there's plenty to hold your attention, too. The white walls and wooden floorboards work very well with the ample amounts of natural light that come in through the windows on either side of the long, open living space. There's a charming collection of nautical-themed pieces of artwork and trinkets dotted about the space, as well as a pair of bathtubs that are sure to tempt you upon coming back through the front door after a long day exploring this quaint seaside town. The pier is eight minutes' walk along the pebbly beach and you'll spot some of the wide array of restaurants and pubs that Deal has to offer along the way.

The Fossil Collector

A stone’s throw from Camber Sands, this stylish home takes beach shack to glamorous new heights, making it the perfect coastal retreat for friendly get-togethers and extended families. 

The interior is characterfully designed using reclaimed and antique materials, offering a revitalised version of seaside chic. The host is evidently a fan of up-cycling – look out for creative touches such as repurposed doors, stain-glass windows and rustic radiators. We especially love the wood-panelled walls and flooring that shape the space as a whole, while the comfortable furnishings, neutral tones and wood-burning stove keep things cosy. 

Here, as much attention has been paid to comfort as it has to style – drift off to sleep beneath Egyptian cotton bed linen or relax on leather sofas in the sitting room. But, don’t spend too much time inside as this home is close to an expansive sandy beach. Enjoy exclusive use of a private “No Through” sandy road, with access only to residents, and walk to the sand dunes in two minutes. End the day with early-evening sundowners on the front porch, sharing anecdotes and listening to the waves lapping in and out of the shore, before heading into the local village for a spot of traditional pub grub, five minutes away on foot. 

Camber Sands

Perched on the coast at Greatstone, this modern beach house makes for a luxurious family getaway. This contemporary home is designed with entertaining in mind – with plenty of open-plan communal spaces. We love the cinema room, complete with a sofa big enough for all the family to get cosy. Socialising continues outdoors – equipped with a bar, barbecue, and pizza oven – the terrace is definitely the place to be. The garden comes with direct access to the sandy coastline via the dunes, so you'll have exclusive access to the quiet part of the beach – what's not to love?

At The Waters Edge

Positioned directly on Dungeness's public beach, this former foghorn testing station has been fully renovated into a unique getaway for two. The nearby lighthouse's foghorn still works, although we much prefer the idea of waking up to the sound of the waves and seagulls. The sea is literally on your doorstep, and huge glass doors and a small terrace maximise the idyllic views. It's more of a studio than a one-bed, but we like the single-level layout. Although phone signal is patchy here and there's no proper TV, there is wi-fi for remote working and streaming. That said, the Bose speaker system, wood burner and teak bathtub are all you need to truly unwind. 

The Fog Signalling Building 

This home in Kent is one of a kind. The Grade II listed home sits on a 15th-century estate that boasts remarkable views of the North Downs – an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. You’ll have a heated swimming pool to look forward to, in addition to a tennis court. The house itself perfectly blends antique finds with modern comforts, so you’ll have everything you need for a cosy stay. Best of all, your four-legged friends are welcome to join you – and you don’t even need to leave the estate for delightful walks. 

Lavish Retreat

A delightfully quaint bolthole set in the beautiful Kent countryside, this home's modern black facade is complemented by a rustic and quirky interior. Glass-fronted and beaming with sunlight all year round, the bright living space is warm and welcoming from the moment you arrive. The fully-equipped kitchen has soft wooden tables and open shelves, creating a homely and relaxing space to gather over a homecooked meal. It opens onto the trendy and whimsical lounge, with its yellow armchair and eclectic decorations. We loved the garden most of all – slide open the glass doors and step outside into the fresh air. Outside, you'll find an alfresco dining area – the perfect spot to tuck into the cake host Georgina leaves for you – and a cosy lounge area surrounding an open-air fire pit, which is ideal for enjoying a moment of calm while watching the sunset. You may even spot the resident kingfisher as it flies from the pond. When you're ready for sleep, drift off in the plush beds in the country-style bedrooms, then wake up feeling well-rested and ready to explore Kent. You're perfectly located for adventures – make the twenty-minute drive to the coastal Dungeness National Nature Reserve or reward yourself after a stroll with a pint in one of the delicious pubs nearby.

The Kingfisher

On the outskirts of pretty little Orlestone, this sixteenth-century Grade II-listed cottage is picture perfect – so much so that it was featured in the Wealden Times Lifestyle Magazine. Beyond the manicured gardens are comfy rooms packed with original features, ideal for hunkering down. Pick your spot on a plump sofa with your feet up on the pouffe in front of the wood-burning fire, catch forty winks in the dreamy beds under Egyptian cotton sheets and patchwork quilts or tuck into your hosts’ homemade cake around the antique dining table. Spend glorious summer days on the lawns sprawled out with a picnic, enveloped in the sweet scent of the rose bushes while industrious bumblebees toil away in the foxgloves. On more adventurous days, don your walking boots and explore. Set off past the pond, through shady spots and open fields, eventually arriving at the Hamstreet Woods National Nature Reserve. After your yomp, a slap-up feast is well deserved; gastro pubs and tearooms await in nearby villages, just a short drive away.
