Eylesden Court

Bearsted | Kent

Glorious views of Kentish Oasts

Eylesden Court is next to the village green, reputedly one of the oldest cricket grounds in Kent. The estate was built in the spacious grounds of a former preparatory school and enjoys an open parkland setting with an orchard and a splendid backdrop of oast-houses and Holy Cross Church. The properties are arranged in three distinct areas; the estate’s own ‘village green’, a scented garden and the orchard. There is a croquet lawn for the summer months and an allotment garden for the market gardeners.

Bearsted Green, with its lovely Georgian and Victorian architecture, has shops, restaurants and two pubs. There are clubs and societies within the village and a ramblers’ paradise on the doorstep, with the Pilgrims’ Way and North Downs Way passing close by. Bearsted station offers a regular train service to London Victoria, which can be reached in just over an hour, and a short drive of 30 minutes is all it takes to put you at the seaside. The incredible 13th-Century Leeds Castle, most famous for once being home to Henry VIII’s first wife, Catherine of Aragon, is only four miles away from the estate.
