The creative team behind Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre have turned their hand to a spectacular four-bedroom country home between Tunbridge Wells and Cranbrook.

The magnificent London theatre, which is located on Bankside beside the Tate Modern and opposite St Paul’s Cathedral across the River Thames, was designed and constructed by McCurdy and Co.

The same team has now restored Corner Cottage, a beautiful Grade II listed building on the outskirts of Horsmonden, a quiet village less than a 20 minute drive from Tunbridge Wells.

With origins dating back to the 15th century, this historic timber framed house has now been refurbished but still maintains much of its original charm.

The detached family home is now on the market for £2.8m and features four bedrooms, including an en suite master bedroom with a freestanding bath, a hand-painted Chalon kitchen with breakfast room, and three reception rooms, all with delightful garden views.

There are four spacious bedrooms inside the property. Picture: Savills

The attractive garden, which covers approximately 1.6 acres and is filled with ancient yew trees and rose beds, also has something particularly special to offer.

Tucked away behind the rear of the house is a large outdoor swimming pool which is heated, tiled and surrounded by a quaint terrace, making it the ideal space for outdoor entertaining.

To make sure you truly make the most of the outdoor grounds, there is also a pool house and pool pump room, a detached double garage and adjoining workshop, two greenhouses and a plant room.

After being carefully restored, this luxurious home has everything a modern family needs, but is still brimming with wooden beams and oak furnishings for a charming historic feel.
