Set in the countryside near Tunbridge Wells, Blackham Court Farmhouse is a refined rural retreat that sits within its own private grounds on a historic estate. Inside this beautifully restored Grade II listed property, you'll find centuries of heritage combined with modern luxuries, including a swimming pool and hot tub, making it ideal for bringing larger groups of friends and family together.
Sleeping up to twelve guests, this five-bedroom home has evolved from its history as a medieval moated manor into the elegant farmstead you'll see today. Inside, original features and period architecture sit alongside generous living spaces designed to bring everyone together, while the property's two kitchens are particularly useful when you’re staying with a larger group. One boasts a traditional Aga, which is perfect for those moments when you want to take your time over a meal, while the other has modern ovens and plenty of room to cook for everyone. You can divide the cooking up, of course – or let one person take charge while everyone else stays out of the way.
In summer, the heated outdoor pool is likely to become the main attraction. It’s open from April to September, meaning there's always somewhere to cool off during the day or stretch out beside the pool with a book when the days are warmest. The hot tub is there for the rest of the year, and presents itself as a particularly good spot in the evening when everyone has finished eating and the countryside has gone quiet. Nights can move effortlessly from drinks at the built-in bar to friendly competition in the games room, and when you're finally ready to lay the day to rest, retreat to the home's individually styled bedrooms – which really help create a looked-after, boutique-hotel feel.
Whether gathering for a milestone birthday, a long-overdue family reunion, or a luxury countryside escape with friends, Blackham Court Farmhouse offers a welcoming space where good food, better company, and the peaceful Sussex landscape can come together.
