This was Oliver Cromwells hunting lodge and it dates back to the 14th century, Hunters combines rich period features with the best contemporary comforts. This Grade II-listed manor house was originally built as a Wealden hall house before being remodelled for use as a hunting lodge. Today, guests have free rein of both the main house and a sympathetically designed annex. As you’d expect from a property of this pedigree, fascinating features are found at every turn. Stepping into the original hallway, you’ll see a 17th century inglenook fireplace, complete with wood-carved graffiti added by one of his “roundhead” supporters.

The house and its annex offer a choice of six stylish bedrooms, sleeping ten adults and two children. The light and spacious master bedroom has French doors opening onto its own balcony, as well as a private end-suite bathroom. Some rooms have low ceilings and doorways; an age-old quirk that reminds you this is somewhere a little different.

While the house itself is impressive, equal consideration has been given to Hunters' outdoor spaces. The grounds extend across two acres, including a private drive, croquet lawn, vegetable garden and wildflower meadow. With wellness in mind, there’s also a grass tennis court, swimming pool, hot tub, sauna and steam room. And for those sunny days where blissful hours are at your disposal, there’s a terrace with a dining table and chairs, as well as sun beds and an outdoor sofa – perfect for catching up with some reading.

This remarkable property is a real testament to the care and attention taken by its owners. When the house was restored in 2004, the kitchen and master bedroom were added using the same green oak frame that would have been used in the early 14th century. Throughout, you’ll find thoughtfully preserved historic touches and hints of years long past.
