With luxurious interiors that showcase the owners' well-travelled lives, this 17th-century self-catering country retreat has history and character in abundance. Set within acres of grounds that reveal a hidden heated swimming pool, undulating fields, and windmill views, Lower Standen Farmhouse provides an idyllic backdrop for celebratory escapes for groups of up to 12 guests, including family forays, special occasions, and wellbeing retreats.
There's a distinctly bohemian feel to the interiors, where worldly antiques, local artwork, unusual finds, quirky décor, and sumptuous velvet sofas come together to create a relaxed yet refined atmosphere. Statement design pieces sit comfortably amid original oak beams and elegant detailing, making welcoming spaces ideal for group get-togethers. Enjoy leisurely breakfasts in the contemporary, state-of-the-art kitchen and dining space, evenings gathered around board games in the snug, or settle in for films and card games surrounded by the home's grand period features.
There’s also space to retreat, if that’s what you need. From quiet reading corners overlooking the gardens to cosy seating areas, every corner of this beautiful holiday home has been designed with relaxation in mind. Lower Standen boasts five beautiful bedrooms, each with its own distinctive style, from contemporary family bunk rooms to the spacious master bedroom with its luxurious walk-in bathroom.
An outdoor swimming pool, garden games, fire pit in the stunning garden mean summer days at Lower Standen Farmhouse can be spent in a hive of activity or a languid leisurely state. Keen horticulturalists will love the residents' well-kept gardens, fauna, and rolling countryside. And while children can play on the swings or enjoy a spot of ping-pong, parents can fire up the BBQ or simply make the most of the peace and quiet from the array of seating areas.
Should you need to leave this idyllic holiday home, beyond Lower Standen’s grounds you’ll find the charming towns of Cranbrook and Tenterden, along with the picturesque villages of this part of the Kentish Weald. Award-winning vineyards, exceptional restaurants, and the sandy dunes of Camber are also close by, offering plenty of inspiration for memorable days out before returning to the tranquillity of Lower Standen.
