Known for its picturesque high street and proximity to the Kent coast and High Weald AONB, Tenterden is an excellent starting point for outdoor adventures. This cottage is just a short walk from the centre, putting shops, pubs, and eateries within easy reach. On summer days, you'll want to make the most of the garden. We think it's the perfect spot to enjoy alfresco lunches and evening sundowners. When the weather turns, the lounge is cosy as can be. You'll have all you need to settle in here, from a well-appointed kitchen to comfortable bedrooms. There's also on-street parking, so day trips to Rye, Camber Sands, and more are sure to be on the cards.

Perched amidst fields of green, reconnect with nature with a stay at this charming lodge overlooking 25 acres of Kentish country meadows. Dressed entirely in white, the interiors invite guests to enjoy a relaxing stay of pure cosiness. Sink into the plush living room sofas after a refreshing country walks around the village of Biddenden (a twenty-five minute walk away), where you'll find a charming tea room and coffee shop along with a quintessential English pub a few miles down the road. 

When the weather is being kind, kick back on the decked terrace with a cold drink in hand – you'll even find space to dine alfresco while taking in the luscious garden views. Soak up the sun as it moves around the lodge throughout the day before heading inside for a cosy evening of movies and wine in the living area around the wood-burning stove.

With beautiful country views and a peaceful setting on the owners’ sheep farm, this perfectly petite home is the ideal base for exploring the Kentish Weald. You’re a ten-minute drive from the well-heeled town of Tenterden with its independent boutiques and tearooms as well as many National Trust properties. The beautiful gardens at Great Dixter, just 11 mins away, or the famous Pashley Manor make for a fabulous day out or head just up the road to the pretty weather-boarded village of Rolvenden for the weekly farmers’ market or a pub lunch. The cottage itself is a cute red-brick bolthole where sheep and donkeys graze in the fields out front. Admire the surrounding farmland from the rocking chair on the wooden deck, or watch the kids run free on the lawn. Inside, it’s a cheerful medley of white, teal and magenta and kitsch flowery curtains add a bit of character. Throw open the French doors to let the country air stream in, and perhaps curl up with one of the books from the mini-library to the sounds of sheep in the fields.

Step inside to this wholesome countryside retreat, where views of nature's beauty stretch for miles, while peace and tranquillity are to be expected. Take in a deep breath of fresh air as you wake up each morning feeling both humbled and refreshed after a dreamy night's sleep in the bedroom that comes filled with cosy blankets, quality bedding and soothing wooden furnishings. Over in the open kitchen and living area, a similarly calm aesthetic persists with plenty of natural light passing through the large glass windows – which decorate the walls with the luscious green landscape in the distance. Situated just four kilometres away from the small village of Biddenden, be sure to check out the local gastronomy at The West House, as well as some quintessentially British pub grub at The Red Lion. If a decent glass of wine tickles your fancy, you'll also be located around 6km away from Biddenden Vineyards – offering tours and tastings to visitors throughout the year.

This cottage, set within a secluded location on the edge of Wittersham, is a serene retreat for a family gathering. The modern country-style interiors are inviting, while the ground-floor layout makes it accessible to all. There’s plenty of space here, including room for your four-legged friend, to unwind in the garden or the cosy living room next to the fire. Ready to explore? Overlooking fields and woodland, you’ll find grassy tracks directly off your doorstep, though if you feel like a more challenging hike, head to Smallhythe Place or Brockhill Country Park.

Spread over three buildings, this converted farm dates back to the 17th century and maintains plenty of historic charm. Designed specifically with families in mind, you can have a multi-generational shindig here – two guests have the dairy to themselves (with its ground floor bedroom, it's perfect for older couples), while the farmhouse, spread over three floors, can house up to twelve (with ten adults), and the granary up to ten (with six adults) – the latter two buildings have living areas, as well. You won't need to be apart for long, though – you'll all likely be meeting for mealtimes at the long dining table, while the pool and large garden can fill most of the times in between.

Bathrobes

Underfloor Heating

If you like a bit of history with your holiday, look no further than this converted stable in the rolling hills of the Kent countryside. Step inside and you'll find hints of the building's past life in every room, coupled with some modern details like underfloor heating, a lavish soaker tub and fluffy bathrobes. We're particularly fond of the exposed ceiling beams, handcrafted kitchen worktop and the repurposed ladder-turned-clothes rail upstairs, which only add to the country charm. The living room is just as quaint, with comfy armchairs gathered around a wood-burning stove, making it the perfect place to relax with a glass of wine, snuggle up with a book or enjoy a family movie night. 

Outside, the views are as idyllic as they come. There's no better spot to enjoy afternoon tea (and the scenery) than on the terrace, complete with handmade furniture fit for alfresco dining. The High Weald is yours for the taking, so don your comfiest boots and set off exploring – or just wander down to the local pub, a twenty-minute stroll away. But when you fancy a change of scenery, Rye and Hastings are half an hour by car and make excellent options for day trips.

Right on the edge of Orlestone Forest and a twenty-minute drive from the coast, this quaint bolthole has been plucked from the lid of a chocolate box. Your host, Caroline, has created a cosy, clever and modern delight of a home with a mix of rustic and mid-century furnishings. Two comfy armchairs are positioned in front of the sliding doors, so you can keep one eye on the television and the other on the wildlife busying itself in the immaculate garden. Tuck into breakfast in your private courtyard before taking a stroll past the pond and golden barley fields to the paddock, where Caroline’s Soay sheep are kept. Set out on a yomp along country lanes, stopping at gastro pubs along the way. And when it’s time to get some rest, we guarantee you’ll be out like a light as soon as your head hits the pillow of your cloud-soft bed.

A perfect vacation spot for families—this home has an activity for everyone. Kids will love the in house game room with table tennis, foosball, and an Xbox for some friendly competition. 

When it’s time for a family outing, the options are numerous. Head on over to Saxon Shore Way to rent bicycles or simply take the walking path and admire views of the sea. For history buffs, the nearby ruins and medieval towns are a treat to learn about and explore firsthand. Not to mention, Tenterden (a fourteen-minute drive away) with its tempting shopping High Street and steam train that will take you to the ruins of Bodiam Castle. On warmer days, go for a swim at Camber Sands – an eighteen-minute drive away or try out surfing for an adventure! 

Wind down from your exciting days with a soak in the hot tub or by cosying up with a book in the living room. After everyone has had some well-deserved recuperation time, come back together for a family dinner on the patio as you overlook the lush countryside.



Barn To Be Wild

A classy barn conversion on the wild and magical Romney Marsh, this little place is anything but plain. Step inside the cosy living area, where vaulted ceilings lined with oak beams provide plenty of character. On chilly evenings, throw a log on the wood burner and snuggle up with a film, or in the summer, rustle up a meal in the well-equipped kitchen and tuck into your fare on the patio. There's no better spot to unwind than the private hot tub, perfect for stargazing on summer nights or soaking up the views across the owner's vineyards and the marsh. And between the underfloor heating, sleek rain shower, bespoke beds and eco-friendly solar panels, there are a few luxury touches, too. Location-wise, this is an excellent spot for ramblers. A short walk along the Saxon Shore Way will take you to a charming 14th-century pub or you can just keep going for miles in this famously flat landscape. But if you fancy a change of scenery, spend the day on the coast – Camber Sands is only twenty minutes away by car. 

Marsh Marigold

Set down a quiet country lane with an array of scenic walking routes straight from your doorstep, this characterful cottage offers a peaceful retreat to a couple seeking respite from city life. 

The perfect spot for both a winter and summer break, the home boasts a fabulous lawned garden with a terrace and patio furniture for sunny days, alongside a snuggly living room equipped with a wood-burning stove to chase away the crisp bite of winter. Keep your toes warm after a day of hiking adventures by turning on the under-floor heating. Throughout the cottage, contemporary designs in a soothing blue colour scheme are centred around comfort and practicality – meaning you'll have all of the ingredients of the recipe that make a fabulous stay out of your time here. 

With such spectacular countryside views and 20 acres of adjoining farm and woodland to discover – you'll have the Kent countryside at your fingertips. From here, you'll also be just a five-minute drive away from the village of Biddenden, with shops, a pub and Michelin stared restaurant.







Lazy Sunday Mornings

Tennis Court

Stair Gates

This converted barn packs a real punch. You'll find it nestled among the rolling hills in the High Weald AONB, just a stone's throw from Rye, Iden, and the Kent coastline. We love the garden, where you can unwind with a tipple and admire the scenery. Feeling sporty? The shared tennis courts are ideal for a mid-afternoon game. Inside, the design is contemporary, cosy, and just the right amount of quirky. The purple banquette is perfect for breakfasts, while evenings are best spent curled up with a book in one of the squishy armchairs. You’ll feel right at home here.

Weald Whimsy

Bicycles

Make yourself at home at this rustic pair of linked barns which have been designed with nature and sustainability in mind. Set amongst green fields that offer sweeping countryside views, the home offers the ideal setting for a memorable group getaway in Kent. The main barn is perfect for gathering around in the large living and dining area for some downtime whether it be cosying up by the fire for a movie night or breaking out a board game for some friendly competition. For even more fun, there’s also a communal games room with table tennis and table football as well as two hot tubs so there won’t be any need to take turns. Each barn has its own kitchen and living area so it’s easy to spread out if you wish, and a barbecue and large outdoor seating area provide the perfect spot to soak up the scenery over a meal together. If you’re looking for a day trip, the beach at Camber Sands is a twenty-minute drive away where you can veg out in the sun or brave the waters for a swim, and walkers and cyclists will love the nearby Saxon Shore Way that traces the coast and offers stunning views over the cliffs.

Gather & Grow

This delightfully picturesque studio barn is set within the grounds of the owners' home, surrounded by stunning countryside views. The timber-frame barn has been carefully renovated into a stylish open-plan space with thoughtful touches and a green outlook. An external wooden staircase leads down to the mature garden which features a large wildlife pond. Cook up lunch on the barbecue while the sun shines or if you feel like exploring further afield there are some great walks nearby. And as you're right in the heart of rural Kent, an abundance of famous gardens are practically on your doorstep including Hole Park which is renowned for its stunning springtime array of bluebells, magnolia, azaleas and daffodils. Closer to home, the local village of Benenden is home to a cafe, butcher and a brilliant pub that’s perfect for a nightcap before heading home for an evening of peace and quiet.

Wood-clad and terracotta-roofed, this idyllic little cottage is surrounded by fields and forest as far as the eye can see. Take in the countryside on a walk around the farm (with its own vineyard), meandering down to the river that runs through the grounds – and say hello to the owner’s two friendly Newfoundlands, who always love to welcome new guests. For a day trip, it’s a short drive to the historical town of Rye, where you can wander cobbled streets and admire the medieval architecture before grabbing lunch at a local spot. In warmer months, go for a dip in the sea or bask in the sun at Camber Sands, a twenty-five minute drive away.

Inside the cottage, it’s pure enchantment with oak beams on display and a stunning Moroccan-style bed in the master bedroom. On chilly evenings, get the wood-burner crackling in the open-plan living area. A wall of glass doors fronts the living room, with beautiful countryside views. Open up to the patio where seating for the group sits under a charming wooden pergola and there’s a private slice of lawn for kids to run free. 

Vineyard Escape

There's been no horsing around in converting these stables into this studio retreat – excuse the pun. You can't have a country bolthole without a log burner to snuggle up in front of, right? Luckily there's one here, and the first basket of logs is provided to get the fire going. There's no escaping from the fact that this cottage is traditionally decorated, but it adds to the charm. The absolute highlight for us, though, is the garden with its wonderful views over wildflower meadows to Orlestone Forest (famous for its nightingales). When you're ready to explore, head to the nearby village of Hamstreet, with its shops, eateries and pub, a short drive away (it's walkable too).

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.

Foxglove Cottage

Paid Parking On Street

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

This beautifully converted barn and traditional Kent farmhouse is set within the grounds of the lush green Pound Hill Farm. Wake up to calming countryside views to the east and west from your bedroom window and enjoy the rural outlook from the traditional open-plan living space. If doing nothing is on the agenda, this home is perfectly equipped for relaxed days on the sofa cuddled up by the wood burning stove, or if you’re up for some light activity, the farmland itself has a carp pond that you’re welcome to fish at as well as picturesque fields to stroll through as you pass by the friendly furry locals. Just beyond the fence are acres of unspoilt countryside that make for gloriously peaceful walks in all seasons, and the small village of Frittenden is also walking distance away. Pop into the popular local pub for a pint or a comforting lunch before venturing down the road to the historic Sissinghurst Castle Garden, a pleasant two-mile walk from the farm, or pick up some fresh finds from the local shop and enjoy a home-cooked meal on your terrace as you watch the sun set over the fields.

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.

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

Sea views and a hot tub — need we say more? This dog-friendly stone cottage was once part of the late comedian Spike Milligan’s home and, while it can be rented alongside the adjoining cottage for larger groups, we think it makes an ideal self-contained retreat. Both the airy open-plan living-dining area and the main bedroom open directly onto the garden, which features a barbecue for alfresco dining with a side of sea breeze. It's perfectly placed, too, with Rye, Camber Sands, and Hastings all within easy driving distance.

Rye Retreat

Over the Sussex hills and far away resides a unique retreat which offers a majestic stay perfect for those looking to escape the mundane. Built by a local craftsman from local materials, Hazel Hollow sits surrounded by stunning countryside and magnificent views for days. The inside of this unique hideaway is just as special as the outside, with a beamed ceiling throughout. Quirky features such as the starry night ceiling and circular doors and windows in the central living area pull the entire aesthetic together with infinite charm. Cosy up around the wood-burning stove on the patchwork sofa with a warm cup of tea in hand or relax outside in the private hot tub – you'll feel rest assured in knowing there's heated flooring back inside the house, for when its time to get out. Beyond the home, you'll find plenty of things to get stuck into, including a tour of the host's vineyard, walks along the river to Bodium Castle, kayaking, cycling or a trip to Camber Beach –  around an hour's drive away.

This Kent country home invites guests to experience a stay centred around leisure amid a peaceful environment away from the bustle of city life. With countryside views overlooking the local landscape and grazing horses, you'll find tranquillity from the moment you arrive here. The home's highlights feature a hot tub on the patio, a cosy fireplace and underfloor heating (perfect for warming up after a country walk), a games room – equipped with table football, darts and ping pong, alongside a home cinema room with a twinkling star effect ceiling. Meanwhile, the spa-like bathrooms featuring rainfall showers and large free-standing bathtubs offer an air of luxury and allow for self-care and pampering at every opportunity. 


Old Harrow

A mile away from the nearest country pub, this 19th-century cottage is great for small groups seeking a quiet getaway in the High Wealds. The wi-fi connection here isn't strong, but indoor highlights include the cosy wood burner and a bright kitchen leading onto the pond-facing patio. While this home is off the beaten track, the surrounding scenery is special for nature lovers. You'll find shops and restaurants in nearby Hawkhurst, plus plenty of National Trust landmarks in the area to pad out your itinerary.

Quaystone

Access to Beach

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

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

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

Breakfast Included

A quintessentially English countryside escape, you may have seen this characterful 16th-century manor feature in the film Mr Holmes and more notably in season three of The Crown. In honour of such a humble appearance – we've named this home after the episode in which it features, titled "Cri de Coeur". Surrounded by 720-acres of National Trust farmland, the property boasts a location amidst breathtaking natural beauty that stretches as far as the eye can see. There's even a 30-acre family-run vineyard owned that guests have the opportunity to discover on a wine tour and tasting organised by the hosts. Make the most of the on-site wine tasting lounge – it's the perfect place to socialise after a day out in the country air. 

As well as communal access to the winery, you'll have private access to an entire wing of the home as well as a private piece of the garden – separate from any other guests. Stone paths pave the way inside to the cosy main living space with a traditional aesthetic throughout. While there isn't a kitchen as such in the wing, the living area includes a fridge, freezer, toaster, kettle and some dining essentials so that you can enjoy simple meals around the table. After country walks through the sheep fields or to Winchelsea Beach (fifty minutes away on foot) – make returning and snuggling up in front of the log burner fire a cosy ritual that you'll crave long after your stay. From the bedroom windows, take in the best views in the house, as the vistas sweep across the rolling hills and out to sea. With the town of Rye positioned just 4 miles away, this place is not as remote as it may seem – as you'll have convenient access to an array of charming shops, pubs and restaurants just a ten-minute drive away. 

Cri de Coeur

Surrounded by beautiful countryside – this cottage is nestled within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There are plenty of outdoor activities to enjoy in the area, including walking, hiking, and cycling. You can also visit the nearby towns of Rye and Hastings. We love the views over the countryside from this four-level home and the garden is the perfect spot to soak up the Sussex sun. There’s a wood-burning stove for when the weather turns chilly, too. This is a perfect base for a family holiday.

East Sussex Escape

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

Nestled in a glorious garden offering fabulous views (and a small glimpse of the sea), this two-bedroom home is made with relaxation in mind. Enjoy lounging in the shade of the silver birch trees, fire up the barbecue for an al fresco feast, then hop in the hot tub and savour the scenery. Inside, you’ll find the living and sleeping space all on one level, including a cosy sofa that can convert to sleep two guests, and a modern kitchen with everything you need to feed family and friends. A serene spot for a holiday, this home is also a short drive from the shops and pubs of Rye, as well as the golden dunes of Camber Sands and historic Hastings.

Silver Skies

While the grand spaces and classically decorated rooms of this historic estate in the rolling East Sussex landscape speak for themselves, we can come up with a few more reasons to choose to live your next country escape as the lord or lady of this manor. Expansive views of quintessential English meadows will greet you all year round, though in spring, a sea of bluebells in the surrounding woods makes it an even more attractive proposition. In summer, a heated pool and tennis court provide plenty of opportunities for outdoor enjoyment. An autumn escape in East Sussex is all about long country walks – admiring the changing colours of nature – followed by a visit to a centuries-old pub. A group planning a winter escape will find refuge in the manor's many cosy corners, and can look forward to evenings of chatter by open fires and a lavish meals in the elegant 
wood-panelled dining room. Just make sure to nominate the group's chef and grand piano player in advance.

The Custom Of The Country

Home Cinema Setup

Ping Pong Table

We could tell this exquisite home, in the heart of the East Sussex countryside, is owned by an interior photographer – it's picture-perfect. We love the attention to detail that has gone into this place. It's been designed with entertainment in mind – relax in the hot tub in the secluded south-facing garden with a glass of Sussex fizz, dine under the shade of the vine-covered pergola or sunbathe on the loungers. Play croquet on the extensive lawn or simply spot the wildlife – if you're lucky, you may see rabbits, badgers and the occasional deer. 

Inside, there are even more options to keep your family or friends occupied. Listen to some music on the Bluetooth sound system, channel your inner Mozart at the electric piano or bang out some rhythms on the drum kit. If music isn't your thing, watch a movie in the cinema room or play some table tennis. After all that activity, unwind by the open fire if it's chilly, read a book on the Barcelona-style chair or have a soak in one of the freestanding baths. 

With so much to do here, you may not find the time to explore, but if you do, you'll be rewarded with magnificent beaches and charming towns. Hastings, with its bars, cafes and music scene, is just over fifteen minutes by car, while it's the same distance to Rye. Camber Sands is Twenty-five minutes, while Great Dixter House and Gardens, built by architect Edwin Lutyens, is a ten-minute drive.
