During the project, the house was stripped out area by area – the family lived in it throughout, moving around from wing to wing. It was fully remodelled (where appropriate) refurbished and refurnished, whilst incorporating key pieces of the family’s existing furniture, art and accessories. The house was re-plumbed, new central heating, four bathrooms were totally replaced as was the kitchen and utility room.

A new cinema room, wine room and kitchenette were created on the lower ground floor. All living and sleeping quarters were fully interior designed, in accordance with the client brief and respect to the characteristics of the home. The project took around 18 months to complete, using the client’s trusted build team and our preferred suppliers.

The Architecture: Original and oldest part of the house is a well preserved example of a Hall House, dating back to the 15thC. Around 1548 the much larger, adjacent Wealden Hall House was added to the site. It has typical tall Tudor chimneys, vaulted heavily oak-beamed ceilings and an original Tudor painted wall mural with integrated vertical beams. There are Georgian additions and a Georgian front façade dating to the late 1740s.

The Grounds: Several acres of beautiful gardens and grounds, with mature trees and a lake, set high up on a hill with views over the Kentish Weald. Swimming pool and professional grade padel court.

The Interior: 5 bedrooms, large beamed dining/kitchen, large beamed dining room with original Tudor inglenook fireplace, drawing room, sitting room, study, sweeping staircase, lower ground floor study and cinema room.
