Bracketts are proud to present this extraordinary and rarely available residence – a remarkable Grade II listed Coach House with two additional detached dwellings, nestled within the picturesque grounds of the historic Hadlow Castle. Steeped in character and dating back to the 1830s, this distinctive home was formerly the residence of renowned portrait painter and war artist Bernard Hailstone, and has remained in the family since 1952.

The Old Coach House (Main Residence - Title K748316)

Accessed via the grand castle entrance arch, the sweeping driveway leads you through manicured castle grounds to a secluded central courtyard. This beautifully maintained home spans three floors and offers:

The ground floor is particularly impressive – spacious, free-flowing, and ideal for modern family life, with rooms that connect beautifully while offering views over both the historic courtyard and the private rear garden. A perfect space for entertaining, working from home, or peaceful retreat.

Upstairs, the first floor offers two double bedrooms (one with a small en suite) and a separate WC. The second floor provides two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The Coach House is enveloped by its own extensive private garden, laid to lawn with established trees, shrubs, and colourful borders — a serene outdoor haven.

Guest Cottage

Set within the garden of the Coach House, this delightful detached single-storey cottage is ideal as an annexe for a family, guests or even creative workspace. 
 

The Studio (Separate Title – K401963)

Completely self-contained, The Studio is a detached two-bedroom bungalow situated in its own private walled garden with separate access and parking. The accommodation comprises:

The Studio is a detached single storey property situated in its own private walled garden. This home currently comprises entrance hall kitchen / breakfast room, two bedrooms, family bathroom, separate cloakroom room/WC and a large sitting room with vaulted ceiling and log burning stove arranged over circa 1053 sqft. The garden is mainly laid to lawn with a fantastic view of Hadlow Tower. The property also benefits from a driveway

The Studio is currently tenanted and generating a rental income, offering an excellent investment opportunity. Alternatively, it’s ideal as independent living space for a family member. The private garden is a sun trap, beautifully maintained, and offers potential for repurposing — such as the addition of a swimming pool (subject to consents) — or simply as a peaceful retreat with views of the iconic Hadlow Tower. The garden could also be joined to the Coach House’s grounds to form one larger, unified space.

Communal Grounds – Shared Ownership of a Historic Landscape

Residents of the Coach House also enjoy shared ownership of the stunning communal grounds of the Hadlow Castle estate, held jointly with a small number of neighbouring properties, including Hadlow Tower. The grounds include:

• Sweeping lawns that stretch across the estate
• Mature specimen trees, including majestic sequoias and rare monkey puzzle trees
• A large ornamental lake, adding charm and tranquillity to the setting
• Meandering pathways and spaces to relax or walk

These beautifully maintained shared gardens are a rare privilege, enhancing the lifestyle and prestige of this unique historic property.

Location – Peaceful Village Living with Excellent Connections

Hadlow Castle sits at the edge of the picturesque village of Hadlow, which offers a variety of local amenities including a primary school, GP surgery, dentist, chemist, post office, independent shops, tearooms, and traditional pubs. The nearby towns of Tonbridge and Sevenoaks provide additional shopping, educational, and recreational facilities as well as direct rail services to London (Cannon Street and Charing Cross).

This is a truly rare opportunity to acquire a piece of English heritage within a stunning and exclusive setting. With flexible accommodation, income potential, multi-generational living options, and access to breath-taking historic grounds, this property must be seen to be fully appreciated.

Early viewing is strongly recommended.
