Previous pages: The front reception room is on the eastern end of the house and features a sunken fireplace This page: The garden is a dreamy combination of mature lawns, magnificent topiary and intimate spaces divided by box hedging and moss-covered walls Anyone who has ever read The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett will understand the magic and intrigue that can be conjured up by a sprawling, ancient building surrounded by an equally fantastical garden... For many of us, visiting such a place, whether it is a National Trust property, or a special family home, awakens our childhood curiosity and imagination in a way that few other things do. The family home of Jane and Peter, a former hall house in the heart of the High Weald, is just such a place – and one that is certain to pique the curiosity of adults and children alike. “This has been the perfect house for us, and our children,” says Jane, who moved here with her husband in 1984. “Our children adore the place, and now we have four grandchildren and two more on the way...”. The house, when they bought it, was in need of some serious modernisation but this did not deter the couple who clearly have an affinity for tricky, timber-framed buildings. “We had moved from another former hall house, near Headcorn,” says Jane, “so we knew what we were taking on.” “Lots of people told us that it was known as the coldest house in Kent,” adds Peter. “But I’m sure there are lots of houses they say that about! Plus it had small leaks in lots of places.” So, it was not exactly everyone’s idea of a cosy family home. However, once the essentials were dealt with (rewiring, heating installed, secondary glazing fitted and leaks fixed) the couple were able to start making this historic building into a family home – a process that has continued until the present day. Jane and Peter have only recently added a beautiful kitchen extension, with a huge south-facing window. wealdentimes.co.uk 92
