A glorious Georgian home rich in character and charm, Craythornes provides an exceptional setting for families, friends and couples to gather for a memorable stay on the Kent coast.

This beautiful Grade II listed house is brimming with period features, from original wooden floorboards and beams to impressive brick and inglenook fireplaces, complemented by curious hand-picked artwork and fine antiques. There is generous space for everyone to come together, alongside quiet nooks and corners for moments of privacy.

At the heart of the home, the historic open-plan kitchen forms a wonderfully social space, with breakfast table and relaxed sofa seating set before the vast inglenook fireplace and wood burner. A door opens directly onto the garden, while the large dining table – seating up to 18 – invites long, celebratory meals shared together.

While some guests may unwind in the sitting room before the striking open brick fire, others can enjoy a game of pool or settle into the cinema room for a film on the projector screen. On warmer days, the unique thatched orangery overlooking the garden offers a peaceful retreat for reading or listening to music on the vintage record player. By evening, five spacious bedrooms await, three of which include additional single beds ideal for family groups.

The expansive lawned garden places the heated swimming pool at its centre, creating a natural gathering point for relaxed days outdoors. Sun loungers and provided pool towels invite unhurried afternoons, while table tennis and garden games offer entertainment for all ages. A large pond, home to impressive koi carp, adds further character (children should be supervised), and there is ample space for play and exploration.

Al fresco dining is easily enjoyed at the outdoor table, whether preparing meals on the gas barbecue or arranging a private chef for a celebratory feast.

Ideally located just a short walk from the quaint high street of New Romney, with its cafés, pubs, restaurants and small independent shops, Craythornes also sits close to the coast. The sandy shores of St Mary’s Bay and the shingle beach at Littlestone are both within a five-minute drive, offering easy days beside the sea.
