Welcome to the extraordinary Nares House, a remarkable example of Georgian architecture with a fascinating history waiting to be discovered. Built by a noble Lord in the late 1700s and believed to have served as a command post during wartime, this beautifully restored home now offers a luxurious and characterful retreat for friends and family gatherings close to the Kent coast.
Period elegance defines the interiors, where original features and carefully chosen heritage wallpapers enhance the home’s refined atmosphere. Exquisitely high ceilings give the sitting and dining rooms a wonderful sense of space, inviting guests to come together – whether beside the open fire or around the large dining table for memorable meals and celebratory dinners. Full-height sash windows overlook and open onto the garden, filling the rooms with natural light.
Two staircases lead to the upper floors: the sweeping main staircase rising to the first floor, alongside the former servants’ stairwell, quietly echoing the house’s past. Here, six elegant bedrooms provide generous accommodation for larger groups.
Outside, the expansive enclosed garden offers hidden corners for children and pets to explore, as well as broad lawns ideal for games and relaxed afternoons. Beyond the garden, miles of unspoilt Romney Marsh countryside stretch in every direction, perfect for longer walks.
Beautifully set within the historic village of Newchurch – a significant location during the Battle of Britain – Nares House enjoys both countryside and coast on the doorstep. The Kent shoreline lies just 10 minutes away by car, making it an ideal base for exploring this distinctive landscape, though the comforts of the house itself may prove hard to leave.
