Badsell Park Farmhouse is reputed to have originally been the Earl of Westmoreland’s hunting lodge and features an inscription dated 1712 above the fireplace in the oldest part of the house. Subsequent 19th and 20th century extensions have created light and spacious accommodation arranged over three floors, with the majority of rooms enjoying an attractive outlook over the grounds. The generously-proportioned ground floor living space is ideal for entertaining and family life and comprises a striking entrance hall leading through to a bay-fronted sitting room, a formal drawing room, a study and a large country-style open plan kitchen/ breakfast room, complete with an Aga. The kitchen opens directly out to the garden on the south side for enjoyment of the lovely setting and a pretty conservatory, festooned by a mature grapevine to the roof, creates a delightful space with the garden lying to two sides. Five well-proportioned and characterful good-sized and beautifully-presented bedrooms, with good ceiling heights and an attractive outlook, are arranged over the first and second floors, together with a dressing room, two bath/shower rooms, a cloakroom and a sitting room.

  • Benenden Walk 10.7 Miles (17.2Kms) Allow 5.5 Hours
    Benenden Walk 10.7 miles (17.2kms) allow 5.5 hours ime h T ug ro T lk a W A Benenden Walk distance 10.7 miles (17.2kms) allow 5.5 hours This 10-mile circular walk around the village of Benenden shows the western part of Kent at its best. The route follows the established High Weald Landscape Trail through small fields, orchards and woodland. There are superb views over the Weald from St George’s Church, Benenden, and the footpath leading back to Cranbrook. The full route takes in the parkland that makes up the grounds of Benenden School, and the ancient culvert at Strawberry Wood, crossing the Roman Road below Stream Farm and the site of an original Roman ford, capturing the historic features and rural character of Kent’s High Weald perfectly. A History of Benenden South of Cranbrook is the picturesque village of Benenden, which prospered from the 14th century as an important centre of the Wealden iron and cloth industries. Before that, the name indicates that it was one of the dens, or woodland clearings, common in this area of the Weald, where Saxon farmers drove their domestic pig herds from the north and south downs every autumn to feed on the fallen acorns, chestnuts and beechnuts that littered the forest floor - a practice that was known as pannage. The trackways they established from driving their animals to the forest and back again all ran north-south and developed into the roads in use today. The clearings were originally owned by parishes settled earlier in the open lands of the north and south, who wanted to use the forest resources.
